~God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.~ Psalm 46:1 To which Dr. A.B. Simpson responds, "Don't run away from your troubles. Don't magnify them. Don't dwell on them, taking them to bed with you, spoiling your digestion by feeding them all day and making everybody unhappy by throwing their shadow upon them. But with a resolute, courageous and trustful spirit take them to God in prayer and then go forth to meet and vanquish them, and you will find that they are much less formidable than you had feared. An old farmer plowed around a rock in one of his feilds for many years He had actually grown morbid over it, for he had broken a cultivator and two plows besides loosing alot of valuable land in its vicinity. One day, he made up his mind that he would dig it out and have it done with. When he put his crowbar under it, he found it was less then a foot thick and that he could carry it away in his wagon He smiled to think how all through the years it had haunted him. One day, we shall look back on our trials and our anxious cares and find how needless many of them were, so unreal and yet so distressing. Then we'll say like the elderly lady when she was reviewing her past life: "I've had so many trials, especially those that never came"
