Scriptures: Psalm 119:71-72 71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes. 72 The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver. (New King James Version)
Nugget: This psalmist was going through some things, some obstacles in life. He realized in the end, that whatever he was going through was for his good. The occurrences turned him closer to God, allowing him to learn God’s word & ways. It also taught him that nothing was more important than God’s law; basically, not to put anything above God.
Sometimes we go through things & wonder “Why me?”; sometimes God may answer, “Why not you?”. Things may be happening to turn you closer to God, to allow you to grow. Don’t miss the opportunity.
Quote: “Nothing happens to you as a Christian that is not designed to make you stronger. If you aren’t a Christian, then it happens to bring you closer to God.” –Pastor Charles Jones
