Advantages of Adversity

Read Jeremiah 29:11-12 TLB

Fanny Crosby was only six weeks old when she developed a little trouble with her eyes. Her doctor was careless with the treatment, and his treatment blinded her.

Fanny Crosby loved the Lord. Because He had forgiven her, she forgave the doctor, and her blindness made her better, not bitter.

In her blindness she saw God more clearly, she wrote hymns more prolifically, and she guided people to God more successfully

Adversity was a springboard to achievement for Fanny Crosby. She wrote more than eight thousand hymns.

What is adversity to you?

Prayer: How grateful we are, heavenly Father, for Thy constant companionship, Thy limitless love, and Thy measureless mercy. lnspire us daily to love Thee more, to serve Thee better, and please Thee greatly. Hear our prayers: in the name of Jesus. Amen.
