Thank you for your service and sacrifice, and God bless you.

         

A gentle reminder from Ms.B:  
Please, no politics in The Canteen. 
The Troops need a place to rest, relax and relate, and that place is The Canteen.
Have fun and play nice!

Father Knows Best

READ: 2 Samuel 16:5-12

It may be that the Lord will look on my affliction, and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing. —2 Samuel 16:12

Unlike David in 2 Samuel 16, we  like to take revenge, silence our critics, insist on fairness, and set everything right. But David told those who wanted to defend him: “Let [Shimei] alone, and let him curse; for so the Lord has ordered him” (v.11).

It seems to me that as the years go by, we grow—as David did—in the awareness of God’s protective love. We become less concerned with what others say about us and more willing to give ourselves over to our Father. We learn humble submission to God’s will.

We may, of course, ask our opponents to justify their charges, or we may meet them with steadfast denial if they charge us falsely. But when we have done all we can do, the only thing left is to wait patiently until God vindicates us.

In the meantime, it’s good to look beyond the words of those who vilify us to the will of the One who loves us with infinite love. We need to say that whatever God permits is for His ultimate good in us or in others—even though our hearts break and we shed bitter tears.

You’re in God’s hands, no matter what others say about you. He sees your distress, and in time will repay you with good. Trust Him and abide in His love. —

Each day we learn from yesterday
Of God’s great love and care;
And every burden we must face
He’ll surely help us bear.  —D. De Haan

It takes the storm to prove the real shelter.
