S U N D A Y S N I P P E T S (tm) # 1 1 9 8 Feb '98 All Happenings Come From God ---------------------------- We are apt to overlook the hand and heart of God in our afflictions, and to consider them as mere accidents, and unavoidable evils. This view makes them absolute and positive evils, which admit of no remedy or relief. If we view our troubles and trials aside from the divine design and agency in them, we cannot be comforted. - Nathaniel Emmons I know that whatsoever the Lord does, it shall be forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it; and the Lord has so made it that men should reverence him. That which is now, already has been; and that which is to be, has already been; and God will avenge him who has been persecuted. What shall separate me from the love of Christ? Tribulation or imprison- ment or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?...But in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. - Eccles. 3:14-15 and Romans 8:35,37 (Lamsa's translation) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sunday Snippets" is the trademark of G.
