Further Thought: Read Ellen G. White, “The Anointing of David,” Pages 637-642, in Patriarchs and Prophets.

“Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4, NRSV). Psalm 37:4 is a wonderful promise. Imagine getting what you have always wanted.

I enjoyed being a Bible Worker for 30 years. As one pastor told me, a Bible Worker gets to have all the fun of being a pastor without any of the headaches.

Monday: In God’s Time

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

Read Romans 5:6 and Galatians 4:4. What do they tell us about God’s timing? In these verses, Paul tells us that Jesus came to die for us at exactly the right time.
