Well, are you having a bad day today, a pretty tough time? If you are think about this. There is a story that was told of one little boy’s rough day. while going to school he fell off the school bus and hit his head, and he needed two stitches. After returning to school he went to recess and ran into a classmate busting his lip and knocking two teeth out. Then that afternoon he broke his arm. As the principal was taking him to the hospital, he noticed the little boy clutching something in his hand. It was a quarter. The principal asked the boy about the quarter, the boy smiled and said, “I found this today, I’ve never found a quarter before. This is my lucky day!”
Every day has its problems, but faith can turn them into blessings. The Bible tells us faith is the victory that overcomes the world. First John 5:4 states, “For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.”
