CENTER OF HIS WILL

I was told a story today that I would like to share with you. It's about a man and his
 family who  lived out west on their farm, and watched a devastating wildfire approach
their home. The farmer and his wife had no place to go, so he did the only thing  he
 knew to do, as they watched the horrendous flames come closer and closer to their
 home. He went out to his fields,  and set them on fire, hoping and praying to God, that
this would be a buffer against their home! When his field of flames had died off, he took his
 family and they stayed in the center of that field. It became the center of their only
 hope for survival. When the raging fires hit the edge of his property, it
stopped and went around them. They had survived, because they were in the center
of that field of devastation.
This got me to thinking, how many times, when we place ourselves in the center of
 God's will, does He rescue us and send damaging circumstances around us? Even
 if the wind of pain surround us and we get singed, God will be with us. He always is!
It is far better to be in the center of His will, than on the outside,looking in and getting
 burned!
This painted a pretty good picure to me of being cared for by someone, when you are in the center of their will!
