DAY TWENTY ONE

TRIUMPH OVER TROUBLES

"Let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because Thou defendest them; let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee " (Psalm 5: 11).

A multitude of difficulties! You cannot handle them. They overwhelm you. You are about to go under. Stop! Take a deep breath. Where did you get that breath? One Source—the Maker of Heaven and earth. He is the Source of your breath. He is the answer to your problem — your last resort! Your best resort! Go to Him.

Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.

"If you tell your troubles to God, you put them into the grave. If you roll your burden anywhere else it will roll back again, like the stone of Sisyphus." —Charles H. Spurgeon

Trust Him. He is your defense. Joy is yours! Trust is the key.

I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
Trusting only Thee;
Trusting Thee for full salvation,
Great and free.
I am trusting Thee to guide me,
Thou alone shalt lead,
Every day and hour supplying
All my need.

                                                          —Frances Ridley Havergal
