Shall we be discontented at that which works for our good?

If one friend should throw a bag of money at another, and in throwing it, should graze his head, he would not be troubled much, seeing by this means he had got a bag of money.

See here the wisdom of God, who can make the worst things imaginable turn to the good of the saints. He can by a divine chemistry extract gold out of dross. “Oh the depth of the wisdom of God!” (Rom. 11:33). It is God’s great design to set forth the wonder of His wisdom. The Lord made Joseph’s prison a step to preferment. There was no way for Jonah to be saved, but by being swallowed up. God suffered the Egyptians to hate Israel (Psalm 106:41), and this was the means of their deliverance. St. Paul was bound with a chain, and that chain which did bind him was the means of enlarging the gospel (Phil. 1:12).

God is still in the business of making impossible things possible!

Behind the scenes—literally, behind Abraham—the Lord was already providing a way of deliverance: a sacrificial ram as a substitute for Isaac. “So Abraham called the name of that place, ‘The LORD will provide’; as it is said to this day, ‘On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided’” (Gen 22:14).

The God who tests is also the God who provides for you.

"Time to Bloom"
Does anyone else get that summertime vibe when beautiful, colourful flowers start to pop up everywhere, swaying delicately in the cool breeze under a pristine, rich blue sky? 🌼🌷🌤️ Well, I know I do, and for me, this image epitomises that summertime feeling. ☀️😎
It was taken in my rear garden about six months ago. In the midmorning sun 🌞, the small number of flowers in the flowerbed were pleasingly backlit 🌻. Making the most of the marvellous lighting, I photographed dozens of flowers from a variety of angles, but this was by far my favourite.
Exposure settings:
1/1250s, F3.2, ISO100

Soon some of our key leaders will gather for worship and for planning some ministry activities together.

Some young leaders are still anxious 😟 about their future life partners.
Some decisions we take during this gathering will have repercussions from the non believing community.
Please pray!
