It was Napoleon who said,'What a slender thread the greatest of things can hang by'I wonder why he said that?,it could have been as regards his last great battle were he was defeated at Waterloo.When victory seemed secured until Marshall Blucher came back to support Wellingtons army. There is proverb that goes,
'For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For want of a rider the message was lost,
For want of a message the battle was lost.'
'All for want of a nail.
It reminds us that a seemingly unimportat acts can have grave consequences, Leave God out of ones life and what are we left with ,'silver threads',bring God into your life and one can proclaim that your times are in His hands,( Psalms 31 v 15)No man can pluck us out of His hands,when we trust Christ as Saviour then we are safe and secure.So let us look beyond Napoleon's 'slender thread',to our great God and Saviour who has the whole world in His hands.'
