| Friday the Thirteenth |
| “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). |
| Friday the thirteenth is considered by many as a day of bad luck, and a day to be extra careful and wary of adverse happenings. You can look up the origin of this superstition and find pages of information on the subject, and a diversity of thought as to why both “Friday” and the number “thirteen” are thought to be unlucky. |
| But, as believers, we don’t have to be worried about such things. We understand that every day is in the Lord’s hand and that He guides and orders our circumstances according to what He sees is best. We have the assurance that every day is a blessing and that we belong to “Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will” (Ephesians 1:11). |
| Although today is another Friday the thirteenth, it should be a day of rejoicing in the Lord, trusting in His love and goodness, and a day when we can serve Him and others. Don’t be afraid to go forth in the confidence that He is in full control of whatever happens, and that “all things work together for good” (Romans 8:28). |
