Don't Judge Your Future By Your Present Situations............

Don't Judge Your Future By Your Present Situations............

 

A professor in a college ethics class presented his students with a problem. He said, "A man was suffering with syphilis and his wife with tuberculosis. They had four children: one of them died; the other three have what is considered to be a terminal illness. The mother is pregnant for the 5th time. What do you recommend that she should do? Do you think she should give birth to the baby?" After a serious discussion, the majority of the class voted that she should abort the child. "Fine," said the professor. "You've just killed Beethoven, great music composer."  Beethoven lived for fifty-six years and three months. His childhood was spent in his home town of Bonn ; his entire adult life in the great musical city of Vienna . How is it possible to be a composer? - And that is all you can be - and to discover that you are slowly going deaf? That was the starting point for my research into Beethoven's life. Beethoven's triumph over his deafness - his ability to compose even though he could not hear his own music - is one of the great miracles of art. Does anyone doubt that Beethoven is the greatest composer who ever lived! But given Beethoven's relatively small output, just nine symphonies, five piano concerts, one violin concert, sixteen string quartets and one opera. Friends so many times we get carried away by our problems and we try to make own decisions and things will go wrong; If the mother took a decision of aborting the child that day, due to her situations, then Beethoven would have been killed. I just want to tell you that don't judge your future by your present situations in life. Because you know not what is in store for you for the future, God has planned great things for you. Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
