When in Trial, consider…

  • He brought me here. It’s His Will I am in this straight place. In that fact I will rest.
  • He will keep me here in His love and give me grace to behave as His child.
  • Then He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He intends for me to learn.
  • In His good time, He will bring me out again, how and when He knows.

So let me say: I am…

  1. Here by God’s appointment.
  2. In His Keeping.
  3. Under His training.
  4. For His Time.

Consider these Passages:

  • Psalm 23
  • 2nd Cor. 12:7-10
  • James 1:2-8
  • Ecc. 3:1-13

This was given to me to read by a man I’ve just gotten to know, John Woodall, here at North Point Ministries. He’s the man.
