Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

We saw in the last issue that Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." (Matthew 26:39) People sometimes think that if things are not going smoothly, that they are not in the will of God. We know that this is not true. Remember that it was God's will that Jesus suffer and die on the cross!

God Bless You!

--FEATURED POEM:

Not until each loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the pattern
And explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
For the pattern that He planned.
