SIRACH 39:33-35
All the works of the Lord are good,
and he will supply every need in its time.
No one can say, ‘This is not as good as that’,
for everything proves good in its appointed time.
So now sing praise with all your heart and voice,
and bless the name of the Lord.
God is good and God is love and this is why all you receive from God is good. Testing times are necessary if it were not you would not be given the trials that strengthen your faith, hope, and love for Me. Praise God in all circumstances for all things work for the good of those who love Me, those who accept the gifts as well as the cross. Looking back at your life can you not see how necessary it was for you to be tried and tested as gold and silver in order to be purified? You know that it is through the times of suffering, loss, grief, and tribulation that grace has brought you through all of the testing times stronger and with greater resilience to endure the trials that all who love Me must face periodically. Praise God always. Raise your heart and mind to Me every waking moment. Let My Name be on your lips, in your heart, and allow My Holy Spirit to fill your soul with joy and gladness even though you walk through the dark night in this valley of tears. Be of good cheer ---- my own for while weeping lasts only through the night enduring joy will be yours in the morning.
