If we are in a battle with discouraging and sorrow-filled circumstances, is not the word of God overflowing with promises of divine help and support? If the living God is with us in everything we face, what more do we require? Whatever our trouble might be, almighty God stands by His chosen ones, ready to make all things work for their good. If the word of Christ dwells richly in us (Colossians 3:16), it will keep our hearts encouraged and our faith strong. On this subject, Thomas Manton observed that “We need fear nothing, for whoever troubles us, they are something under God. Whatever is our misery, and whatever befalls us, it is something less than hell, which we have escaped by Christ, and will all be made up in heaven. The first sight of God, and the first glimpse of everlasting glory, will recompense all the sorrows of the present life; and, as soon as we step into heaven, all shall be forgotten.” Until then, we must go to God’s word for the daily reviving of our spiritual vigor and life.
