Be Happy

A time to be grateful

By
Ecclesiastes in chapter 3 once said: To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep,      And a time to laugh; A time to mourn,      And a time to dance; A time to gain,      And a time to lose; A time to keep,      And a time to throw away; A time to love,      And a time to hate; A time of war,      And a time of peace.

When the weather is rough, passengers on a ship can be comforted by the captain's calm behavior. One simple-minded soul said, "I am sure there is no cause to fear, for I heard the captain whistling." Surely if the captain is at ease, the passengers can be at peace. If the Lord Jesus is at the helm singing, do not fear. "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him"   Charles Spurgeon

I've been having a particularly difficult time with school this quarter and have a lot of worries about how things are going. But God provides peace by whispering to me that He's always taken care of me in the past, and that He always resolves things to be exactly how they should. It has been encouraging to see the Spirit move so boldly in me and really comfort me during this difficult time, reminding me to cast all my cares on Him; to live a godly life and everything else will work itself out.  "So I will cast my cares on you, yes I will cast my cares on you, I will rest within Your arms, knowing I am safe from harm, I WILL CAST MY CARES ON YOU"
