God Is Always by Our Side and Fulfils What He Has Allowed ㅡ
“And, behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places where you go, and will bring you again into this land; for I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken to you of.”
(Genesis 28:15)
Instead of thinking of your discouragements, think of the power you can claim in Christ’s name.
Let your imagination take hold upon things unseen.
Let your thoughts be directed to the evidences of the great love of God for you.
Faith can endure trial, resist temptation, bear up under disappointment.
Jesus lives as our advocate.
All is ours that His mediation secures.
God will not suffer one of His truehearted workers to be left alone, to struggle against great odds and be overcome.
He preserves as a precious jewel everyone whose life is hid with Christ in Him.
Of every such one He says: “I ...will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee.” (Haggai 2:23).
Then talk of the promises; talk of Jesus’ willingness to bless.
He does not forget us for one brief moment.
When, notwithstanding disagreeable circumstances, we rest confidingly in His love, and shut ourselves in with Him, the sense of His presence will inspire a deep, tranquil joy.
The Father’s presence encircled Christ, and nothing befell Him but that which infinite love permitted for the blessing of the world.
Here was His source of comfort, and it is for us.
He who is imbued with the Spirit of Christ abides in Christ.
Whatever comes to him comes from the Saviour, who surrounds him with His presence.
Nothing can touch him except by the Lord’s permission.
All our sufferings and sorrows, all our temptations and trials, all our sadness and griefs, all our persecutions and privations, in short, all things work together for our good.
All experiences and circumstances are God’s workmen whereby good is brought to us.
