THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

NOTHING THAT’S HAPPENED TO YOU IS A SURPRISE TO GOD

In today’s Scripture, some people asked Jesus whose FAULT it was that this man was born blind. They were looking for somebody to BLAME. Some reason, some excuse. Jesus said, “It’s NOBODY’S fault. The reason he was born this way was so that the GOODNESS of God could be displayed.”

When something unfair happens, don’t get stuck looking for a REASON, trying to find someone or SOMETHING to blame. All that blaming is going to do is give you a reason to feel SORRY for yourself. You’re not going to UNDERSTAND why everything happens. Nothing that’s happened to you is a surprise to GOD. He sees EVERY wrong that’s been done to you and every DISADVANTAGE, and He is a God of JUSTICE. If you stay in FAITH, it won’t work against you, it will work FOR you. God will use it to show OUT in your life. He’ll take what was meant for your harm and use it to your ADVANTAGE.

Today’s Scripture

John 9:2, NLT

“Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?”
