[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":4},["ShallowReactive",2],{"reading-0506":3},"MAY 6\r\nThe secret of the Lord is with them that fear him (Psalm 25:14).\r\nThere are secrets of Providence which God's dear children may\r\nlearn. His dealings with them often seem, to the outward eye, dark and terrible. Faith looks deeper and says, \"This is God's secret.\r\nYou look only on the outside; I can look deeper and see the hidden meaning.\"\r\nSometimes diamonds are done up in rough packages, so that their\r\nvalue cannot be seen. When the Tabernacle was built in the\r\nwilderness there was nothing rich in Its outward covering and rough badger skin gave no hint of the valuable things which it contained.\r\nGod may send you, dear friends, some costly packages. Do not worry if they are done up in rough wrappings. You may be sure there are\r\ntreasures of love, and kindness, and wisdom hidden within. If we   take what He sends, and trust Him for the goodness In It even in   the dark, vie shall learn the meaning of the secrets of Providence.\r\n--A. B. Simpson.\r\nNot until each loom is silent,\r\nAnd the shuttles cease to fly,\r\nWill God unroll the pattern\r\nAnd explain the reason why\r\nThe dark threads sire as needful\r\nIn the Weaver's skillful hand,\r\nAs the threads of gold and silver    For the pattern which He planned.\r\nHe that is mastered by Christ is the master of every circumstance.\r\nDoes the circumstance press hard against you? Do not push it away.\r\nIt is the Potter's hand. Your mastery will come, not by arresting its progress, but by enduring its discipline, for it is not only\r\nshaping you into a vessel of beauty and honor, but it is making\r\n\r\nyour resources available.",1783499792997]
