The word of God is living and active. Sharper than
any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul
and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts
and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
The Pilot
It is nor for us who are passengers, to meddle with the chart
and with the compass.
Let that all- skilled Pilot alone with
His own work. – Hall
“Some things cannot be done in a day. God does not make a
sunset glory in a moment, but for days may be massing the
mist out of which He builds His palaces beautiful in the west.”
Selected
Some glorious morn–but when? Ah, who shall say?
The steepest mountain will become a plain, And the parched
land be satisfied with rain. The gates of brass all broken;
iron bars, Transfigured, form a ladder to the stars.
Rough places plain, and crooked ways all straight, For him
who with a patient heart can wait. These things shall be on
God’s appointed day: It may not be tomorrow–yet it may.

The Resurrection
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus’ head.
The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. John 20:1-8
