An Opportunity for God�s Favor
Today's Scripture
�It was not because of his sins or his parents� sins,� Jesus answered. �This happened so the power of God could be seen in him� (John 9:3 NLT).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
In the Bible, we read of a man who was born blind. Some people were asking Jesus, �Why was he born this way?� �Whose fault was it, his or his parents?� They were trying to find someone to blame, some reason, some excuse for his condition. And interestingly, we tend to do the same type of thing today. But I love the way Jesus answered them; He said, �It�s not anybody�s fault. The reason this man was born this way was so that the goodness of God could be displayed in his life.� Then He touched the man and healed him.
When you have a setback, when life deals you a tough blow, when the economy is unstable, don�t get bitter. Don�t settle there. Recognize you are a prime candidate for God to show His favor and goodness through. When the storms of life come, your attitude should be, �God, I�m ready! I know You have something great in store! I refuse to live defeated and depressed. I know this difficulty is simply another opportunity for You to show Your goodness through me.�
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing to show Your glory and goodness through me. I choose to stand in faith, knowing that You are working all things out for my good. I bless You and thank You for Your faithfulness! In Jesus� Name. Amen.
