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, 

It is good for you to remember these words of wisdom and carry them in your heart today. To be absolutely certain that all things that come from the hand of God or that God permits according to His will, work for good for those who love Him. Every circumstance, ---- my own, you must accept as needful in as much as I use it all to teach you, and all your loved ones for whom you love so dearly and pray for constantly, not to cause you to stumble, fall, or make you despondent, anxious, worried, and certainly not to cause you so much uncertainty and distress that you give up. But rather that you will see the hand of God even through it all. In time, when you cast your mind on the things that broke your heart when you recall those times that seemed darkest, when grief and sorrow, heartache and heartbreak seemed the food and drink allotted to you, you will discover that everything was good, and you will lift up your soul, your heart, your mind and your voice to sing praises to God and you will bless My Name from the rising of the sun to its setting.
