The hand of God is in every trial,
trouble, and disappointment
(James
Smith)
Your
trials, though many, painful, and tedious--are but proofs
of your heavenly Father's love! They are sent in
mercy--to convince you that this poor world is not your rest.
Your Father's wisdom chose them,
His love sent them, and
His mercy will sanctify them to you!
Tried believer--are you looking to Jesus? He can hush the
storm, and still the tempest. He is always near in trouble. Is
your eye fixed upon Him? Does your heart repose on His tender
love and faithful Word?
Do you recognize your heavenly
Father's hand in your trials? His hand is
in them, whether you see it or not. He sends, bounds,
and removes them--as He wisely desires. And it has
often comforted the saint to realize that
the hand of God is in every trial,
trouble, and disappointment.
Do
you sweetly acquiescence in God's will, in faith that whatever
He permits in our life, is right and best for
you?
"He is the LORD; let Him do what is good in His eyes!" 1
Samuel 3:18
