After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds in weight. So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. John 19:38-42 (ESV).
Dear Heavenly Father, Jesus lived and walked according to your perfect will while on earth. In His death, you ensured that every providence was taken care of. You arranged for Joseph and Nicodemus to give Jesus a proper burial for his body was bound in linen cloth with spices, and laid inside a new burial place. Father, as i live and walk in your perfect will, I shall have no lack in that your timely and perfect providence will always be there to meet all my needs. Thank you for this assurance of divine providence. In Jesus' blessed name I pray.
