Troubles and Trials

“God had one Son without sin, but He never had a son without trial.”
— D.L. Moody
 
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope” (Rom 5:1-4).
 
In the Valley (He Restoreth My Soul) by Dottie Rambo
 
When I’m low in spirit I cried Lord lift me up.I want to go higher with Thee.But the Lord knows I can’t live on a mountain.So He picked out a valley for me.
 
And He leads me besides still waters,Somewhere in the valley below.He draws me aside, to be tested and tried,But in the valley, He restoreth my soul.
 
Its dark as a dungeon, and the sun seldom shines,And I question Lord, why must this be?Then He tells me there’s strength in those sorrows,And there’s victory in trials for me.
 
And He leads me beside still watersSomewhere in the valley below.He draws me aside,To be tested and tried,But in the valley, He restoreth my soul.
 

Remember: Where there are trials, there are blessings! (James 1:2,3)
