Deuteronomy 16; Song of Solomon 6:10 to 8:14; Luke 11:1-13
For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Romans 5:15
Life’s experiences test our patience, but are often opportunities for spiritual growth that work to bring us to maturity. This process brings joy that doesn’t depend on comfortable circumstances. God’s grace changes potential weakness into strength that builds character, trust in God and confidence for the future. Adverse circumstances produce strong faith. Strong faith produces grace in the soul. Grace in the soul produces glory for God. —Gaius C. Goff
Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear. —Annie Johnson Flint
