Deuteronomy 4:1-49; Ecclesiastes 5:1-6:12; Luke 7:30-50
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Job 42:5
Why is life so difficult at times? The various trials and tribulations we often experience are actually tools in our Master’s hand, which He uses to remove the “weeds of the flesh” and graft in the fruit of the Spirit. Without experiencing difficult choices and hard lessons, we would never be exercised to make such choices or to learn such
lessons. If we asked Job if he would forego his trials at the expense of his newly found intimacy with God, do we think he would agree to do it? It is highly doubtful! —Rick Morse
Shine thro’ the cloud and rain,
Through sorrow, toil, and pain;
Make Thou my pathway plain;
Teach me Thy way! —B. Mansell Ramsey
