Trust In God

It is true there are times of trials and days of darkness, when the best of us are apt to mistrust the providence of God over us, and are tempted to lose heart and hope altogether; but if we are seeking first the kingdom of heaven we shall understand that it is God who takes away; and that He gives and takes away for our soul’s sake, that we are of much more value in His sight than the birds of the air. We shall put our trust in His providence and suffer not the wants of the body, the things of the sense, and the trials of this life to fill ours souls with bitterness; we shall be trustful in the hour of need, patient in the hour of disappointment, tranquil in the hour of trial, and when the hour of deliverance shall come we shall count as nothing the anxiety and sorrows through which we have passed for “the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed to us.”
