THE MISSING KEY

 

THE MISSING KEY

This message has been popping up in my Spirit for weeks. I have no choice but to share this message.

Coulomb is a young and aspiring gentle man, active, jovial and hardworking. He works in a multinational company as an accountant.

On a fateful day, he left home hurriedly because he was late for work. All workers are expected to be at there duty post before 8:00am and anyone who comes late will be penalized. He left home some minutes after 8:00am. He had to maneuver his way through the traffic and he eventually got to work safely.

 After the work for the day, he returned home with joy and fulfillment. He was pardoned for late coming and in fact, nothing will be deducted from his salary.

When he got home, he discovered that his key was missing which means he won't be able to go inside his house! He searched every nooks and crannies of his bag but he couldn't find it.

His door is a German door, he can't even break it except if he must break the wall of the house also. He doesn't really chat with his neighbors, so he can't possibly stay in their home. In fact, everyone minds his/her business in there compound.

 

The only option left is to quickly go back to the office to get the key. He wasn't even sure if he left the key there but that is the only option available. He reluctantly returned to the office to look for the key. On his way,  he fell down flat in muddy water. What a night! He had to buy water to clean up. When he got back to office, He searched almost every part of the office, yet the key was no where be found. Even the security guards assisted him in looking for the key. They searched for it like gold or a precious pearl. Coulomb wished he could just dial the phone number of his key or just see a revelation of where the key is.

 With despair, sadness and uncertainty, he returned back home. He sat down in front of his room waiting and praying to God for a miracle. Oh! God, please do a miracle. He quoted the few verses of scriptures he has memorized especially the ones related to God's promises.
He prayed, cried and even knelt down just for a miracle to happen. Suddenly, a thought popped in his mind. An inner voice said to him "open the door". He could fathom how the door will open without a key. He tried to think about another option but the thought was persistent.

He reluctantly pressed down the Bolt of the door, lo and behold. The door opened!

An incense of joy and happiness rose from within him. He quickly entered the room. As he walked to the sitting room, he saw his gold (I mean the key) right there on the table. Then, he remembered that neither did he picked the key at all from home which means he forgot to lock the door while he was rushing to his place of work.

 

Hmmm… Ain't you surprised? He was looking and searching for something that's not missing. So he wondered that he suffered for nothing. He wastes his time and effort for nothing. He won't have gone through all those unnecessary stress if he knew the door was opened.

Many of us are fighting the wrong person, wrong battle ignorantly. Instead of us to divert our energy to something productive, we focus on the perilous.
I think we need to go for Spiritual eye check up.
