DAILY?READINGS: Judges 4; Isaiah 25; 1 Corinthians 4

And we know that all things work together for good to those who… are the called according to His purpose.  Romans 8:28 (NKJV)

In the midst of the turmoil and problems of life we may feel that nothing is going right. How can a catastrophic illness or the death of a loved one result in any good for the suffering believers? Perhaps for you, life at the moment seems dark, tragic, and hopeless. This is when we must rise above the present distresses and cling to the loving hand of our heavenly Father. We must believe that God will work these present trials into our ultimate blessing. Faith will do this and God will honour it.  —Donald L. Norbie

Will not the End explain?
The crossed endeavour; earnest purpose foiled,
The clinging weariness, the inward strain;
Will not the End explain? —Amy Carmichael
