Bad things happen
I was just reading a little devotional about why bad things happen. They first described what bad things they were going to address. There were two ideas of a bad thing, a tragedy and a bad situation.
Tragedy was described as something like the death of an innocent. A bad thing was just something like a bad grade on a test, or a kid running out into the road and almost getting hit by a car.
They said did the kid with the bad grades learn to study more and do their assignments for better grades? And did the other kid learn to be more careful around the road?
A bad thing is in place to help us to learn and grow.
Here is the statement that prompted me to write this morning...
"Going through tough times is bad only when you don't learn something when it's over."
Take that as a thought for the day and address the "bad" situations that come your way today. Satan would just love for you to get to the end of today and sigh about how "bad" it was. Instead, show off how GOD has given you victory and come to the end of the day with the attitude of what you did and can learn from the day.
