MORNING MANNA 6-26-22
DIFFICULTY AND GRACE
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.” – Matthew 6:34
Adrian Rogers said, “In the crucible of His wisdom and the ecology of His grace, God has ordered some trouble for you today. And every day of your life.
We’ve been blessed with difficulties. Yes, you read right—blessed! The worst thing that could happen to us would be not to have any difficulties. If that were the case, we’d never know our need of the Lord. So God in essence says, “I’m going to give you sufficient difficulty for the day.”
God gives you enough difficulty to draw you close to Him, but then God gives you enough grace to meet those difficulties every day.
Is there a difficult circumstance in your life? If so, thank God for sending it your way to make you more like Jesus. Now ask for His grace to be victorious through it!”
Spurgeon said, “ “I am afraid that all the grace that I have got of my comfortable and easy times and happy hours, might almost lie on a penny. But the good that I have received from my sorrows, and pains, and griefs, is altogether incalculable…. Affliction is the best bit of furniture in my house. It is the best book in a minister’s library.”
Sometimes what you consider to be the worst thing can turn out to be the best thing that could happen to you. God doesn’t make any mistakes. He does indeed make all things work together for good. For that reason we ought to accept whatever He allows or appoints. He does all things well. – HDS
