A Balm For Every Wound, A Salve For Ever Sore


"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
~~Psalm 119:105~~

"Within the Scripture there is a balm for every wound, a salve for every sore. Oh, the wondrous power in the Scripture to create a soul of hope within the ribs of despair, and bring eternal light into the darkness which has made a long midnight in the inmost soul!" (C. H. Spurgeon)

The Solace

"I have learned that we are not to find solace in our own strength;
We must seek it in God's omnipotence."
"Life hurts. You know it. I know it. Everyone around us knows it. The whole world has a lot of practice facing the trials of life. And it isn't fun, is it? There certainly isn't any joy to be found in our trials...is there? The truth is, no one has ever lived a life completely free from pain, uncertainty, stress, trials. The Bible makes this point abundantly clear. Therefore, it is important that we learn how to cope with these harsh patches of life. Yes, life does hurt. But those of us in Christ will never face hardships alone. As we bow down before the Lord, we know that Jesus is with us in our trials. Moreover, He will take our mournful ashes and use them to paint a magnificent picture for His glory. Thank you, Jesus."
Have blessed days ahead Bloggers!
