Do we really involve God.


This is a question that always rings a bell in our ears. Is God involved?. When carrying out a project do you involve God? When planning a trip or an even, do you involve God. Many a times, we do things at our own willthereby putting God aside.
We can never know more than God. No matter how smart or knowlegable we think we ar, one thing is for sure, we can never know more than our creator.
 The mistake we make often is to ignore the fact that God has the answer to everything and he is always the solution to all problems. When we have mountains in our lives,or problems that seems unsolvable, we run to somewhere to get solution instead of seeking the face of God.
 This story made me think twice about where and how i am always in a haste to get a solution to my problems. Let me tell you a short story:
There were three traders, who buys and sells goods in bulk. So for them to prevent their goods from damaging,  these three traders came together and planned on what to do. They came into an agreement to get a store, which will be big enough to contain their goods.
Since they have came into an agreement, they got a store and the next action is for them to transfer their goods permanentely to the store. Their business were booming and flourishing everyday.
But something happened along the way, something they were not expecting came in to destroy their goods. Every morning they would always notice that something ate their goods in a way that they couldnt think of something else than rat.
Rat has always been eaten their goods bit by bit, every night to the extent that the goods couldnt be sold anymore. These three traders decided on what to do to avoid this rat from eating up their goods. They decided to buy a cat, not just a cat, a big cat for that matter. While this cat stays in the stall, they made the cat their responsibility, and they have a shift on who will always take care of the cat for a whole day.
These traders lived in harmony and of course the rat reduces the way it comes to the store. A day came, the cat mistakenly hit its leg on a wooden chair and its leg got broke. So the trader who supposed to take of the cat made it in time, took the cat to thenearestt hospital and treate the cat and brought the cat back to the store, she prepared foforthat would carry the cat till the next day, but she forgot to put off the latern, usually, they never forge to put it off after every shit. He remembered it when he was miles away, and of course he couldn't go back,he concluded that nothing would go wrong.
That same night was the day the rat prepared to come bacvk and eat up what he hasn't eaten for a long time. On getting their, the cat sensed that the rat was back, he stood up and couldn't walk fast to chase the rat. His right leg was plastered,coupled with the pains,which made the rat so lucky that night.
The cat was so disturbed that he couldnt stand the noise of the cat, he was about to chase the rat, he kicked the stool where the latern was kept, and the latern fell on the carpet and slowly, the kerosene started pouring out and before you knew it, the store caught fire and burnt everything in there.
The next morning, these three traders were all joyous and full of expectation that thecT would get better. On getting there, they saw something they didn't hope for. Their store, goods and their rat all burn to ashes. They were in great pains. Of course they lost some thing so valuable:their goods. After a moment ,the three traders started calculating and cracking their brains to know how it happned, they could only remember who took care of the cat last, and it happened to be one of them. They started throwing blames at each other and fighting each other.
Interesting right? Now a times we sort solutions from wrong places, at times solutions that will even increase the degree of our problems. Now the rat in this story represents our problems, the mountains that seems unmovable in our lives, the CAT signifies the solution we sort for, which inturn might not give us the solution we are seeking for.
