"FOR IN THE LORD JEHOVAH IS EVERLASTING STRENGTH." We are often discouraged by the difficulties in the way, and cast down through the weakness of our faith: we look to creatures instead of looking to the Lord; we dwell upon our weakness instead of believing His promises and trusting His faithfulness. But the Lord our God should be the only and the constant object of our trust; His word warrants us to look to Him for all we need, both temporal and spiritual; and His character assures us that we shall not be disappointed. He will appear for us and make all His goodness pass before us. If we connect prayer to God with trusting in God and waiting for God, it is impossible that we should be abandoned in trouble or be neglected in distress. We may trust Him with the fullest confidence and expect without doubting that all He has promised He will fulfil. Are you at this time tried, tempted, and distressed? Cast your burden upon the Lord. Commit your way unto Him; He will bring to pass His largest promises and your best desires. Seek out His promises, confide in them, plead them with God, and expect their fulfilment. O trust in the Lord for ever!

For Meditation:
Trust Him, He's faithful to His word,
His promise cannot fail;
He'll never leave you nor forsake,
Or let your foes prevail;
Then trust His word, rest in His grace,
Until you see Him face to face.
