God’s Eternal Vigilance
Beneath God’s Watchful Gaze
The poor laborer’s daughter heated milk in a kettle, lifted the lid, and left the milk uncovered for a while to cool.
After a while, she entered the kitchen, put the lid on the kettle, and picked up the kettle full of milk and walked outside.
Suddenly, the milk kettle was dropped by the laborer’s daughter and fell on the ground, and all the milk spilled on the ground.
The old father was sitting quietly on the side watching this scene, he had lost as much as a day’s earnings, he looked up at the sky and said.
O Master, O Owner!!!!
Why are such small and big losses the destiny of the poor? Do we see you as poor? The troubles of the world are only for us poor people.
Therefore, he continued to complain before God for a long time and then became silent. After a while he suddenly saw a strange sight;
A cat appeared out of nowhere and started licking the milk spread on the ground, when the cat turned to leave it suddenly struggled and fell to the ground writhing.
The man ran away but before he could reach the cat died, the man was very shocked, must have accidentally dropped something deadly in the milk. He looked inside the kettle and found a lizard lying dead inside it. He wondered what would have happened if this milk had not fallen on the ground.
Perhaps no one who drank this deadly milk would survive. He immediately felt the glory of the Lord, tears of regret fell from his eyes, the man prostrated himself on the ground while sitting and said, O Allah, forgive me.
That person was crying, and saying, "O Lord, there is some purpose hidden in everything you do. How ignorant we are that we start choking fate even at the smallest loss."
We human beings can never understand the love of Allah, because Allah Almighty knows what we do not know, He makes expedients for us, He saves us from great loss even by putting us in trouble.
"Perhaps God tests our faith, God never harms anyone, He may delay making decisions, but even in this delay there is good hidden."
Therefore, "if whispers take place somewhere in our heart, we should avoid them, so that God may make things easier for us and help us to keep our faith strong."
