[Manna - May 15]
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat: the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:17,18
WE see that God permits evil in the world that the
world may learn certain lessons of bitter experience
as to the natural rewards of evil doing, but we see
also a ministry of evil in respect to the saints—in
their testing and polishing and refining; making them
ready, and proving them worthy, as overcomers, to
inherit the wonderful things which God has in reservation
for the faithful. Z.'03-94 R3168:2
