Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 128; Hebrews 8
Before reading Hebrews, I read the books of Exodus and Leviticus. While reading about the detailed construction of the tabernacle and the establishment of the gifts, sacrifices, and offerings, I often thought, “Why are we given so many details about how exactly these things are to be conducted and constructed?” Well, the answer is found here in Hebrews 8:5 – These things were a copy, a shadow of the heavenly ones.
I may not understand why God does what He does,
but I can trust that He has a purpose
and a plan for whatever He brings to pass.
When our baby Tommy passed away at 16 weeks after attempting in-utero surgery, a friend gave me this poem. I hope it blesses you, as it did me.
He Maketh No Mistake
by A. M. Overton
My Father’s way may twist and turn,
My heart may throb and ache,
But in my soul I’m glad I know,
He maketh no mistake.
My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away,
But still I’ll trust my Lord to lead
For He doth know the way.
Though night be dark and it may seem
That day will never break;
I’ll pin my faith, my all in Him,
He maketh no mistake.
There’s so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight’s far too dim;
But come what may, I’ll simply trust
And leave it all to Him.
For by and by the mist will lift
And plain it all He’ll make,
Through all the way, though dark to me,
He made not one mistake.
Heavenly Father, Help us to trust You when we don’t understand. Help us to trust You when everything seems strange and not how we would have planned. Help us to trust You when the night is long and the days are weary. We believe that You are good, and You maketh no mistake. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
