A petty thief was feeling supremely fortunate, because earlier that day, he had succeeded in stealing a massive snake from a snake catcher. Little did the witness thief know that it had been the snake catcher’s first and even less was he aware that the snake’s venom was deadly ! Meanwhile. the snake catcher was himself oblivious to his luck in losing the snake, of whose danger he was himself unaware. Distraught at his loss, though he schemed about how to find the thief and retrieve his precious catch, which he had hoped would fit him her tidy sum.
Not long afterward, the snake catcher was making his way into town, toying with various plans to catch the thief. All of a sudden, he saw the thief thief’s dead body by the roadside and recognized him instantly.
“It must have been my snake that took his life!” The snake catcher gasped as he spotted the tracks the snake had left by the side of the corpse as it wiggled away. “I prayed so hard to find this poor soul and get my believing I’d been cheated. Praise to God that my prayers went unheeded. While I thought I had lost a salable snake., in fact. I had gained back my life.”
Many are our wishes and prayers that, beyond our ability to see, will only bring us loss or death, which God almighty turns a deaf ear to simply out of His benevolence.
