經文:「你要察看神的作為,因神使為曲的,誰能變為直呢?」(傳7:13) 神似乎常把祂的兒女放在極困難的處境中,使他們無法逃避也無力解決。也許,你也正在這樣的處境中。 似乎這樣的的遭遇很嚴重又令人煩惱,你並不明白為甚麼神要如此待你。但是神的安排絕對沒有錯誤,不久你就會看見祂的美意。你所處的境遇如同一個舞臺,而你正在臺上演出神的榮耀、恩典和權能。 神不只要施行拯救,神也要藉此使你學習一個不能遺忘的功課,叫你在事情經過之後,還能常常唱出新的讚美,發出足夠的感謝來。--選 新譯|荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked" (Eccles. 7:13). Often God seems to place His children in positions of profound difficulty, leading them into a wedge from which there is no escape; contriving a situation which no human judgment would have permitted, had it been previously consulted. The very cloud conducts them thither. You may be thus involved at this very hour. It does seem perplexing and very serious to the last degree, but it is perfectly right. The issue will more than justify Him who has brought you hither. It is a platform for the display of His almighty grace and power. He will not only deliver you; but in doing so, He will give you a lesson that you will never forget, and to which, in many a psalm and song, in after days, you will revert. You will never be able to thank God enough for having done just as He has. –Selected | Mrs. Charles Cowman
