this too shall pass

It is Thursday morning and I am at the Country Bean coffeeshop in Paola. I am enjoying my customary vanilla latte while writing my "Thursday Morning @ the Country Bean" blog. Last night I counseled an individual who was facing many problems. I told them that "this too shall pass". I hope it was some encouragement in view of the fact that our trials and problems are often persistent, and God does not always lift them right away. In the gospels, the phrase "and it came to pass" is often found. I am thankful that our trials and adversities do not come to stay, they "come to pass". It may be cloudy for some time, but eventually, the sun will shine again!
