“Our heavenly Father simply loves us [so] much [that] He gives us our deepest desires, but He does so in a way that resources our faith, our relationships, and our vocations in just the right way and at just the right time. No, we won’t get everything we want, but we will get everything we need.
And that is all we really need to be content, whether in times of economic uncertainty, this season of Thanksgiving, or all the days appointed for our earthly life.”
(Dr. William Utech, Associate Professor of Practical Theology, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, in November 2009 THE LUTHERAN WITNESS, p. 9)
