Didn't Know That

“...but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distressed, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger, in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, in the Word of Truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, for the right hand and the left, by glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; as unknown...” from II Corinthians 6:1-10

“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, of who became His counsellor? Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to Him again? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.” Romans 11:33-36

“But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore were saying to him, ‘We have seen the Lord!’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I shall see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.’” John 20:24-25

Either you believe that the unknown in your life is there for a reason or you do not...it comes down to trusting your Father actually.

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: Ongoing Prayer Requests: Audley’s decision for his radio ministry & for ongoing family grief. Australians will not forget those recovering from natural disasters (fires and floods), encouragement for support workers still labouring. Marilu delivered a 4 lb 13 oz boy (!) both need prayer. God’s hands on new USA political administration. Barb to find the new job God has for her; wisdom for doctors caring for Gary, Doris, Michael, David and Adrian. Randy’s family moving to Canada. New work projects for me. Praise: Randy’s generosity. Lyle’s brother and girlfriend, as he continues to recover his life. And amazing ways God is using the Weakday Devotions lately!
