Joshua 18:1-19:51; Isaiah 13:1-22; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-18
Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. John 7:30
Here we learn that events in the life of the Lord Jesus were not controlled by men or the current of circumstance but in strict accordance with the plan that the Father had prepared for Him. Indeed, however, enemies would like to have taken Him sooner than they did, but they were prevented from doing so because the Father was in control not
only with regard to the Son but also His enemies. How wonderful to know, that in a similar way, the Father has His sovereign plan for our lives, and nothing in this world can change it. —Willie H. Burnett
All the way my Saviour leads me,
what have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
who through life has been my guide? —Fanny J. Crosby
