DAILY READINGS: Ezra 5; Daniel 6; Revelation 2:1-17
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany. John 11:1a
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. John 11:15
A dear brother, who recently lost his wife, spoke of believers having hard times, but never bad times. In the sorest of life’s trials, He can and does teach lessons which cannot be learned in any other way. It is often the case that the most valuable of them come from the deepest of sorrows. Are you in such a situation lately? Watch for His gracious instruction, and you will glory in the tribulation. —Rick Morse
I didn’t say you’d never taste the bitter kiss of death,
Or have to walk thru chilly Jordan to enter into rest;
But I did say I’d be waiting right on the other side,
And I did say I’ll dry every tear you’ve cried. —Martins
