| Dear Young Christian: |
| What are you predicting will happen in your life this week? Do you have some plans that you hope nothing will change or frustrate? Fine! But remember, life can be turned around, and even upside down, in a moment of time. Recently, my wife and I experienced this. We were getting ready to travel to Europe for a month of visiting believers and friends, but the Lord had other plans. My wife ended up sick in the hospital and we had to cancel. It was disappointing, but we realized that the Lord’s ways are best, and we were thankful that we weren’t already in Europe beforehand. Two verses of Scripture came to mind as we considered what the Lord had allowed: |
| 1. “It is well” (2 Kings 4:26). |
| 2. “He hath done all things well” (Mark 7:37). |
| Whatever He allows, we must have faith and know that He is working it all out for a purpose of blessing. He loves us and wants us to be happy, trusting believers. It may not be what we had planned, but His plans are better than ours. |
| Your Christian Friend, |

| We would love to hear from you. |
