And He said unto them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing. Luke 22, 35.
It seems to me that our Lord would draw us aside at the close of each day and ask us this same question, Have ye lacked anything today? And what can we answer? Can we tell Him that He has disappointed us, and not cared for us with the tender care of perfect love? No, we must give the disciples’ answer, Nothing.
If we have had disappointments it is because we sought for some satisfaction outside His will, and such disappointments are blessings.
