verse of the day

It is His. [ Romans 9 v 21 ]

In his helpful little book on Ruth ,David Atkinson writes about Abraham Kuyper who was Prime Minister of Holland,who was a Christian,said the following''There is not an inch in the whole area of existence of which
Christ, the sovereign of all,does not cry,''It is Mine''.David Atkinson comments,''That all the events of this world's apparent chance and change
are in the hands of a God who has a purpose for his world,a purpose which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time,to unite all things in him,things in heaven and things on earth''.So how do you feel about that?
I  personally receive great comfort to know my times are in His hands,that disappointment are his appointments for me,and for you,sometimes things happen that hurt us,and yet if we receive them aright we can grow.Roses need pruning,we need to cut off the dead wood,cut it back,we are not destroying the rose,that is the last thing I want to do,no I want to improve it,make it a more lovely rose bush.Remember,
                                     ''I'll He blesses is our good,
                                      and unblessed good,is i'll
                                      And all is well,that seems
                                      most wrong ,
                                      If it be His sweet will.
