SIRACH 39:33-35 (2024)

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.

---- mine,

All things work for the good of those who love Me. Remember this truth and your soul will abide in peace. Do not get anxious, agitated, or fearful when you face difficulties and trials - these are necessary for your spiritual growth. You will not grow in faith, hope, and love nor can you grow stronger and have greater courage unless you experience trials of every kind. You alone determine whether or not you will face trials with serenity or crumble with worry, fear, anxiety, and discouragement. The choice is yours. You can either have praise in your heart and a song on your lips and bless My Name in all circumstances or you can allow yourself to wallow in self-pity. Choose joy - be of good cheer ---- my own, I have overcome the world.
