Hello ,
In his 35 years with the United Nations system, Kofi Annan has come to be known as an evenhanded man with an ability to see the individual as well as the big picture. It is this quality that makes him one of the more popular executives in the United Nations.
As a 17-year-old school boy in Ghana, Annan learned an unforgettable lesson.
One day our headmaster walked into the classroom and put up a broad sheet of paper with a small black dot in one corner. "Boys," he asked, "what do you see?" All of us shouted in unison, "A black dot!" Then he said, "So not a single one of you saw the large white sheet of paper? Don't go through life with that attitude."
Often, we get so fixated on something small (in the great scheme of things), that we fail to recognize that God can be trusted to work everything out.
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
It's so easy to get side-tracked from understanding that God is still on His throne, regardless of our current circumstances. Today. remember...God has your back!
Have a great day and God bless!
Pastor Mike / The Open Word
