Do not see difficulties; see God. He will only give as much as His people can bear -no heavier burden. Learn to fall back upon God. How calm! He can do the largest work without neglecting the smallest matters.
We have to do with the same God. He will not neglect the most minute circumstance, nay more, is interested to be brought into them all—yes, and delights to have us bring Him into them.
Measure not God by your feelings and apprehensions of Him, but by His testimony to His own power. Man ever changes. God's power and grace are ever the same; as He was, so He is.
His watchfulness, His character is our safeguard. We have Christ's work and God's word, that our faith and hope may be in God. The soul fears no evil, resting, and counting on His omnipotence, omnipresence, wisdom, and love. The living God is our true portion.
What is more wonderful than the truth that the shrine He delights to dwell in is a broken and contrite heart! Behold God's temple; what nobility! using the arm of the Almighty to sustain our tottering frame. Oh, may our constant cry be, "Hold Thou me up"; and the more we lean upon that arm, the more does He delight to keep us, and to sustain our weakness.
