The Just Shall Come Out of Trouble

May 31

 

The just shall come out of trouble.

 

Proverbs 12:13 The wicked is snared by the

 transgression of his lips: but 

the just shall come out of trouble. 

 

The Lord’s people are justified by grace, through faith, in the righteousness of Jesus; and all who are thus justified and created anew have immortal principles of holiness, and justice implanted in their hearts, so that they hate sin, follow holiness, and walk uprightly.

 

Sin has not dominion over them, nor will they be slaves to lust.

 

They meet with many troubles, they have to pass through the fire and water, but they shall come out into a wealthy place.

 

They shall not perish in their afflictions, for the Lord upholdeth them with His hand.

 

Beloved, look beyond your present trials; remember if you suffer as a Christian, you suffer with Christ; and if you suffer you shall also reign with Him.

 

Your God is able to deliver; He has promised to do so; trust in Him without wavering; yield not to temptation; avoid the appearance of evil; and your God will bring you out of trouble.

 

He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgement as the noonday. You shall also forget your misery, or remember it as waters that pass away.

 

Present troubles will end in everlasting peace.

 

Millions who now His throne surround,

Here sought relief, here mercy found;

The Lord dispell’d their gloomy fears,

Heal’d all their wounds, and dry their tears;

And thou shalt also mercy find,

For God is faithful, just, and kind.
