Life with me is not immunity from difficulties but peace in difficulties. My guidance is often by shut doors.
Joy is the result of faithful trusting acceptance of My will, when It seems not joyous.
Saint Paul, my servant, learnt this lesson when he said "our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." Expect rebuffs until this is learnt -- it is the only way.
Joy is the daughter of calm.
(taken from God Calling: January 8)
Psalm 147:13-14
'He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you. He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.'
My reflection: How lucky we in Singapore are! He has protected us from terrorism through our efficient law enforcers and government. Our last invasion was the Japanese Occupation in 1942 and we are provided for in terms of welfare through this recession. Any potential conflicts we had with other countries have not escalated to physical violence. Praise God!
