WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU 100 REASONS TO CRY, SHOW LIFE THAT YOU HAVE 1000 REASONS TO REJOICE (Wednesday, 1st July 2026)
Text for Today: Ps. 47:1-9 “Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!” (vs. 1).
We return all glory to the Most-High, for the breaking of this new day, which marks the beginning of the second half of this great year; may His name be praised forever. A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I AM BLIND, PLEASE HELP.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.
That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” I wrote: “TODAY IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY BUT I CANNOT SEE IT.” Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective? Beloved, as your journey into the send half of 2023, I charge you to be thankful for what you have. When life gives you 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile and rejoice. Face your past without regret and handle your present with confidence. HAPPY NEW MONTH!
You are a Champion!
Further Study: Dan. 2:14-23.
