Not infrequently our GOD brings His people into difficulties on purpose that they may come to know Him as they could not otherwise do.

It is not lost time to wait upon God!

All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reackoned on God being with them.

Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.

So if God should place me in serious perplexity, must He not give me much guidance; in places of great difficulty, much grace; in circumstances of great pressure and trial, much strength? No fear that HIs resources will prove unequal to the emergency! And His resources are mine, for He is mine, and is with me and dwells in me.

Jesus is our strength, and what we cannot do or bear, He can both do and bear in us.

All our difficulties are only platforms for the manifestations of His grace, power and love.
