Smith: straight from the Father

Thursday, November 25, 2021
    Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century
    Thanksgiving (U.S.)
Meditation:
    [Daniel] said: “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.”
    —Daniel 2:20-21 (NIV)
Quotation:
    To the children of God everything comes directly from their Father’s hand, no matter who or what may have been the apparent agents. There are no “second causes” for them.
