Whispers of His Power – AUGUST 31

Mark 16.12:  After that He appeared in another form.

John 16.23:  And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing.

We always expect the Lord to come to us in a joy.  Instead of that He sometimes appears in another form, He comes in a big disappointment.

In the day that we see Him all will be clear.  The mysteries which now perplex us will be illuminated.  One day we shall see the glory to our glorious God and the good to all of us contained in the disappointment we cannot understand.

So let us live as those who believe this to be true.  Let us praise before we see.  Let us thank our Lord for trusting us to trust Him.

oooOOOooo
