It’s Not All Bad!!
Sometimes what looks like a really bad thing just might be the hand of God. The story is told of a janitor at St. Peter’s Church in London. One day a young vicar discovered that the janitor was illiterate and fired him. Jobless, the man invested his meager savings in a tiny business, where he prospered, bought another, expanded, and ended up with a chain of stores worth several hundred thousand dollars. One day the man’s banker said, “You’ve done well for an illiterate, but where would you be if you could read and write?” “Well,” replied the man, “I’d be janitor of St. Peter’s Church in Neville Square.” Don’t let the circumstances of life that appear to be the worst thing ever mislead you from God’s true purposes for your life. Just thank Him even if you don’t understand Him.
