Scripture: John 5:14


Title: It Could Always Be Worse
Author: Steve Wagers
Text: John 5:14


A farm boy got a white football for Christmas. He played with it awhile and accidentally kicked it over into the neighbor's chicken coop. The old rooster ran out, looked at it, and called the hens to see it and said, "I don't want you to think I'm complaining, but I want you to see what they are doing next door."

Indian suffered accident. Horse/Dog severely injured. An officer came on the scene, noticed the condition of the animals, and realizing their severe pain, he put them both out of their misery. He asked the Indian, "Are you Okay?" Indian said, "NEVER FELT BETTER!"

By nature, we are prone to complain. Too Hot/Too Cold - Too Rainy/Too Dry - Too Loud/Too Soft - Too Long/Too Short - Too Much/Too Little. Going Great/Only a Matter of Time until they Fall Apart. Things Fall Apart/It Will Never Get Better.

No matter what our condition/consequence; scene/situation....IT COULD ALWAYS BE WORSE!
