“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thess. 5:18 The Lord is working all things after the counsel of His own will. Knowing then that He Who is all wise, all powerful and merciful toward His people is working everything for His glory and the good […]
