Joshua 5:13-6:27; Isaiah 2:1-22; Luke 22:1-30
The Lord God prepared a gourd … God prepared a worm … God prepared a vehement east wind. Jonah 4:6-8
God gave comfort to the prophet Jonah through the growth of a plant and Jonah was very glad. However, when God sent a worm to destroy the plant and a hot wind blew and the sun beat down on his head, Jonah wanted to die. What is our reaction to the joys and sorrows that God allows in our lives? Are we glad when things go right but ungrateful when God allows difficulties to come along? God’s plan is always best, and we must learn to trust Him. —Virginia Strout
In sorrow He’s my comfort,
In trouble He’s my stay,
He tells me every care on Him to roll. —Charles Fry
