The King Takes Care

 

During World War II, England did face significant attacks from Hitler's German Army. The German strategy involved in targeting cities in England, bombings and other forms of attacks. In order to protect children from the dangers of these attacks, the British government implemented various measures.

To save the little children the England Government passed a resolution.  Accordingly children were separated from their parents and sent to remote villages and neighboring countries.  Trains were fully loaded with little children who did not know where they were going.  The separation from their parents was undoubtedly a distressing experience for many of these young children. A three year old girl was crying terribly when she was separated from her mother.  Her five year old brother wiped away her tears hugged her and told her we are going away from our parents we do not know where we are going.  But one thing is sure the king (referring to the British monarch) knows about it and he will take care of us.

In our life also we may not know the path we are travelling or the destination towards which our God is guiding us.  But God knows everything and we know that our loving God will only do good things in our life.

The analogy drawn in the story suggests that in our own lives, we may not always understand the path we are traveling or the ultimate destination that God has in store for us. However, just as the children believed in the king's care and protection, we can have faith that God knows everything and will guide us towards good things in our lives. The story emphasizes trust in a loving and providential God, even in times of uncertainty.
