“He careth for you.” (1 Pet. 5:7) The Bible is fairly full of tokens of God’s marvelous care for His people.

"...thy desire shall be to thy Husband, and He shall rule over thee (Genesis 3:16b)." "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee (Psalms 73:25)."

"We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom" (I Corinthians 2:7a). Stress, depression, frustration, and confusion are usually the result of unmet expectations. That is, we expect things to be a certain way. We have an idea as to how we think things should go (but where did this ... Read More

"In [Christ] are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3). These writings are meant to convey something of the depth of the Lord Jesus, that is, the Lord as INFINITE SUPPLY.
