"Thou art my hope in the day of evil."
- Jeremiah 17:17
The path of the Christian is not always bright with sunshine; he has his
seasons of darkness and of storm. True, it is written in God's Word, "Her
ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace;" and it is a
great truth, that religion is calculated to give a man happiness below as
well as bliss above; but experience tells us that if the course of the
just be "As the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect
day," yet sometimes that light is eclipsed. At certain periods clouds
cover the believer's sun, and he walks in darkness and sees no light.
There are many who have rejoiced in the presence of God for a season; they
have basked in the sunshine in the earlier stages of their Christian
career; they have walked along the "green pastures" by the side of the
"still waters," but suddenly they find the glorious sky is clouded;
instead of the Land of Goshen they have to tread the sandy desert; in the
place of sweet waters, they find troubled streams, bitter to their taste,
and they say, "Surely, if I were a child of God, this would not happen."
Oh! say not so, thou who art walking in darkness. The best of God's saints
must drink the wormwood; the dearest of his children must bear the cross.
No Christian has enjoyed perpetual prosperity; no believer can always keep
his harp from the willows. Perhaps the Lord allotted you at first a smooth
and unclouded path, because you were weak and timid. He tempered the wind
to the shorn lamb, but now that you are stronger in the spiritual life,
you must enter upon the riper and rougher experience of God's full-grown
children.
We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten
bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ.
The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.
C.H.SPURGEON
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
(NKJV)
