I thought you'd like the following "Turning Point" Devotion from Dr. David Jeremiah.
Friday the Thirteenth
Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. Isaiah 38:17a (NIV)
Some days nothing goes right.
Yahoo News recently reported about a man in St. James, New York, who kept his van running while he ran into the Cool Beanz Coffee Shop on Long Island. He also left his dog, Bentley, in the vehicle. Somehow Bentley managed to jump into the driver's seat and engage the gears. The van tore through patio tables and into the glass windows of the coffee shop with the dog at the wheel. Fortunately no one was injured.
It does seem that sometimes the dogs are at the wheels of life, and some days take an odd turn for the worse. For the Christian, however, all things eventually work together for good (Romans 8:28), and all things work together for God's glory (Ephesians 1:11). Even the days that hold deep bouts of anguish—perhaps this is such a day for you—in God's providence will somehow work for our benefit.
There are no unlucky days for Christians. We don't believe in luck, but in blessings!
(I hope this thought is a blessing to you today!!)
By the way, Dr. Jeremiah's daily devotions are excellent and can be obtained free by signing up on his website. [www.davidjeremiah.org]
