Martin Luther was prone to periods of deep depression. One day, during one of those times, he came to the breakfast table to find his wife dressed in black garments. She looked as if she were gong to a funeral.
Luther asked his wife who had died and she replied "God."
Luther raised his voice and said, "Woman, that is blaspheme!"
She replied, "It is no more blaspheme to say that God is dead than it is to live as though He were dead."
Luther got the point and repented of his foolishness.
When life closes in on you, remember this: If you belong to Jesus, God is behind every circumstance you face (Job 1 &; 2). It had to pass across His desk and receive His approval before it came to you.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
