God permits his children to experience trials in this life. He knows them. He is in them with us. In chapter 5 of Mark Christ heals a suffering woman who come to him in faith.
If we seek God faithfully, God will answer effectually. If we Render to God the things of God, the things due to God, then God honors that and blesses us.
In Matthew’s Gospel Jesus illustrates the Kingdom of God with a parable, a story about a wedding feast. It shows us the wonderful way in which God has chosen those who come to faith in Christ.
God is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He does not change. His will does not change. His teachings and commandments for us are not suggestions, but tell us how to love him with all our hearts, minds, and strength.
