October 31
Keep the straight path of duty, and if troubles
come, or difficulties arise, thy God invites thee to call upon Him.
He will come to thy help, and bring all His
boundless resources with Him.
He is always within call.
His ear is never heavy, that it cannot hear;
His arm is not shortened, that it cannot
reach or save.
He can make thy greatest troubles prove thy
choicest blessings;
He can give thee cause to bless Him through
eternity, for thy sorest trials.
Oh, trust Him, and fear not!
Run not to creatures; but, “Arise and call
upon thy God.“
Look not to others, until thou hast proved
that He cannot, or will not help; and that will never be.
His heart is too kind, His words is too
faithful.
Art thou in trouble this morning?
If so, you have a SPECIAL invitation from thy
God to pay Him a visit, and lay thy whole case before Him; expecting His
sympathy, interference, and blessing; He says, “CALL UPON ME IN THE TIME OF
TROUBLE. I WILL DELIVER THEE AND THOU SHALT GLORIFY ME.”
He is faithful who has promised.
Oh, trust Him, for so you honor Him; expect
from Him, and you cannot be disappointed.
Wait for Him and you shall not be ashamed.
On Thee, when sorrows rise,
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.
James Smith
