For He is With Us

"Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult!" ~ Psalm 64:10

Looking at the lives of those who serve the Lord, there seems to be a pattern: God gives them more than they can handle. Just read a few missionary biographies, and you will find countless examples of seemingly impossible trials sent to God's faithful servants. When we are faced with situations that are beyond our might, we must remember that we are not meant to figure things out on our own. The Lord is with his children; he will not leave us! Let our first response to trouble be prayer and faith, not fear or discouragement. This is hard to do when we are tested, but it leads to so much joy!

"I have learned to kiss the wave that slams me into the Rock of Ages"
~ Charles Spurgeon
