WHY ME?

In our low times, it is so easy to ask: Why me?  The best question to ask is: Why not me?  These Bible characters had their low times too:

I am not young enough for it to not be me. Joseph:    Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers.

I am not good enough for it to not be me. Job:  Job, a righteous man who had great tribulations.

I am not wise enough for it to not be me. Solomon:  Solomon, wisdom given to him by God.

I am not pretty enough for it to not be me. Esther:   A Jewish refugee in a strange land under the Medes-Persian kingdom.

I am not righteous enough for it to not be me. Jesus:  Jesus, the Righteous One, Who gave Himself a ransom for many.

So...when bad things happen in our lives...and they will...our attitude can and must be..."Why not me?"
