Today in Sunday school we read a lesson by Michael Macdonald in the Upper Room (Nov. 9 2010). “’What have I done to deserve this?’ is not the right question in times of either blessing or tribulation. Instead we can ask, ‘How can I be useful in God’s kingdom in my present circumstances?’” The Thought for the Day: “Each one of us has a role to play in God’s story of redeeming the world.” Our role in redemption, our role in being useful in God’s kingdom is the ultimate role that should concern us in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.
