DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 8-9; Ezekiel 11; John 3:22-3
For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed. Esther 10:3
We often hear the platitude, “All’s well that ends well.” How much better to know a Sovereign God who rules in the affairs of men in such a way that He causes “all things to work together for good” in the life of the believer. God completely met the need of His people in the days of Mordecai and Esther and He continues to do so today. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end,” (Jer. 29.11). Rest in His provision. —W. H. Gustafson
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne. —G. T. Caldbeck
