In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river. Suddenly labour pains begin.At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above, lightning starts a forest fire. She looks to her left ,sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her. To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her.What can the pregnant deer do? Will she give birth to a fawn? Or will everything be burnt by the forest fire? Will she perish to the hunters' arrow? Will she die a horrible death at the hands of the hungry lion approaching her? 她受制於一邊有大火，另一邊是川流的河水，並且她被天敵困住。She is constrained by the fire on the one side , the flowing river on the other , boxed in by her natural predators.She focuses on giving birth to a new life.The sequence of events that follows are:- Lightning strikes & blinds the hunter.- He releases the arrow which zips past the deer , strikes the hungry lion.- It starts to rain heavily, & the forest fire is slowly doused by the rain.- The deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.在我們的生命裡，也是一樣的，眾多選擇的時刻，我們面臨著各層面的消極想法與所有的可能性。In our life too, there are moments of choice when we are confronted on αll sides with negative thoughts and possibilities. Some thoughts are so powerful that they overcome us , overwhelm us. 母鹿的優先選項是，在那特定的時刻，就只是將小鹿生出來。其餘的都不在她的掌控之中，任何改變了她專注的任何行動或反應，都將可能導致死亡或災難。Maybe we can learn from the deer. The priority of the deer, in that given moment, was simply to give birth to a baby.The rest was not in her hands & any action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster.Where is your faith and hope? In the midst of any storm, do keep it on God always. He will never ever dissapoint you. NEVER!Remember, GOD neither slumbers nor sleeps...
