Max Lucado tells us, "Some
questions aren't always easy to
answer.
Maybe that’s the way it should be!
Here’s just that kind of question:
“I get tired of hearing people brush aside troubles with the
platitude in Romans 8:28, "All things work together for good."
Isn’t saying that cruel?'
The verse says, “We know that in everything God works for the
good of those who love Him.”
I think it’s one of the most helpful, comforting verses in the
entire Bible.
It announces God’s sovereignty in any painful, tragic situation
we face. Why?
Because we know God is at work for our good!
He uses our struggles to build character.
So what do we do?
We trust. Totally!
And we remember. . .God is working for the good.
Yes, any verse can be misused, but that doesn’t make it useless!"

Tough Questions
 by Max Lucado
  
"Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet;
'Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet;
I will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve;
I will not forsake thee, I never will leave.' - Flint
Faith is believing that God is present
when all we hear is silence."
Our prayer: Father, I ask for more faith in You and Your Word, so I
can be guided through life's challenges and situations. May I have
the peace that passes understanding, which Your Word promises.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
Our Scripture today: Ps. 18:30 "As for God, His way is perfect:
the Word of the LORD is tried; He is a buckler to all those that
trust in Him."
Today’s quote by Joanna Fuchs
His Love
God sent His Son to take the punishment
For all the thoughtless, sinful things we do;
Jesus gave his life because He loves us;
His love is boundless, sweet, forever true.
On Easter morn He showed He is our Savior;
His resurrection proves He is our Lord.
That is why we tell you, "Happy Easter!"
He secured our heavenly reward.
