The Desert Trip

This story is about a man and his camel that were going to take a trip across the hot desert. As you know, a camel is equipped to travel many days without water or rest. Man, however needs plenty of rest and food to survive on a daily basis. The man on this day and his camel set out on their trip. After many miles of walking, it was now time to stop and rest. The man begain to set up his tent for shelter from the scorching sun. Just as the tired man was preparing to lay his head down to rest....the camel popped his head in. "Master, can I come into the tent with you?" The master replied, "There is not enought room". A few minutes later, the camel once more popped his head in and asked "Master, can I at least put my head in?" The Master replied,"Allright, just your head." Little by little the camel INCHED his whole body into the tent. Now the master could be seen OUTSIDE with the camel now inside by himself. The poor master without shelter & food was growing weaker by the moment. Slowly the master was dying.

QUESTION: WHAT IS THE MORAL OF THIS STORY?

ANSWER:

The master was a GIVER, and the camel was a taker. TAKERS want what they do not need, BUT will do whatever it takes to get what they want . It's always all about SELF. The GIVERS give until they literally have nothing left to give and sometimes even endanger their own situations.....This one of the ways that the enemy can take advantage of the Christian.

Before you make a decision seek The Lord and His will in any given situation...Is it a NEED or is it a GREED...

Do you have any camels in your tent. Then IT IS NOW TIME to take back your tent and put the camel OUT where he belongs...
