Quote Of The Day

 Just how this statement can be true perhaps has often puzzled you.
You've wondered how that "all things" could work out for your eternal good;
How trouble, sorrow, and unrest could work together for the best.
How this could be, you did not know, and yet God's Word said it was so.

"All things" means both good and bad, even things that make you sad;
It means your sickness and your health, your poverty as well as wealth.
Of trouble you will have your share while in this world of toil and care,
But rest assured - you have a Friend who knows your life from start to end.


Should God permit dark clouds some day to cast a gloom across your way,
Just take it as your Father's will; you're in His care; He loves you still.
Be not alarmed, nor be cast down, 'tis through these trials you'll win a crown.
All earthly sorrows soon will cease while joys eternal shall increase. 

There's much we do not understand, but "all things" are within His hand.
Remember God's mysterious plan cannot be solved by mortal man;
But when we reach the land of rest, we then shall see that He knew best;
The things we had not understood we'll realize were for our good.

- Charles Cox
