MORNING MANNA----TROUBLE IS NEAR, BUT HELP IS HERE - - - trouble is near- - -Psalm 22:11 An old song says, Troublesome times are here, filling mens hearts with fear, but that could have been written in any generation and still be true. Adam pulled a curse down upon out heads and as a result, Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble(Job 14:1). What we need to remember is that although trouble is near, help is here! One pastor of long ago put it like this: Trouble and the Christian are seldom far apart, or long apart; this may sound discouraging; but Jesus and the Christian are never apart. He will never leave us, and trouble is intended to prevent our leaving Him, or to bring us back if we have already wandered. His loving heart guides the hand which smites; and nothing is done by Him, or permitted, but that it may be over-ruled for our good. Trouble may be near, but the throne of grace also is near; His word of promise is near; and He is near who justifieth us. In trouble God can glorify His grace, deepen His work in your heart, brighten your evidences, and fill you with joy and peace in believing; plead with Him to do so, let not trouble fill you with confusion, weaken your faith, or drive you from Him; but listen to, and act upon His word. He says, Call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me. I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him. Hath He said, and shall He not do it? Hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? Every trouble is intended to endear Jesus to your heart. (James Smith)
