Inexorable means “not to me moved or stopped; impossible to stop or prevent; unyielding.”
Viktor Frankl once said: “Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.”
Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
“Be Thou My Vision”
Augustus Caesar once observed, “It is better to be Herod’s dog than one of his children.”
GOD IS MOST GLORIFIED WHEN THE SITUATION IS .
