In Times Of Trouble, God’s Trusting Child May Say

By Andrew Murray

    FIRST: He brought me here; it is by His will I am in this strait place: in that will I rest.

    NEXT: He will keep me here in His love, and give me grace in this trial to behave as His child.

    THEN: He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He intends me to learn, and working in me the grace He means to bestow.

    LAST: In His good time He can bring me out again – how and when He knows.

    Say: I am here –

            1.  By God’s appointment.

            2.  In His keeping.

            3.  Under His training.

            4.  For His time.

    "And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me" (Psa. 50:15).
