God has a plan for every life in Christ Jesus. What a wondrous truth this is! And yet how reasonable a one. Shall the architect draw the plans for his stately palace? Shall the artist sketch the outlines of his masterpiece? Shall the shipbuilder lay down the lines for his colossal ship? And yet God have no plan for the soul which He brings into being and puts “in Christ Jesus?” Surely He has.

Yes, for every cloud that floats across the summer sky: for every blade of grass that points its tiny spear Heaven-ward, God has a purpose and a plan. How much more then, for you who are His own in Christ Jesus, does God have a perfect life plan. —J. H. M.

Someone says, “The will of God which we sometimes think so hard, is, if we only knew it, just the softest pillow to rest upon.” If we recognized that there was no choice but God’s, no aim but such as had Him for its object, how it would take the worry and care from our lives! Have we learned that we are only safe, happy, right, when He chooses? —G. H.
