This Is My Infirmity

By Albert M. Dart

“WILL the Lord cast off forever? and will He be favorable no more? Is His mercy clean gone forever? doth His promise fail forevermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath He in anger shut up His tender mercies? And I said, This is my infirmity.” Ps. 77: 7-10.

In our human weakness, we are sometimes led to doubt the tender mercy and loving-kindness of our heavenly Father—to wonder if He is all that He claims to be.

This trend of thought comes because of pressure of darkness, of the things we cannot understand. But we should ever remember that “this is my infirmity.”

Let us at such times call to mind the fact that “Himself took our infirmities,” and that He is “touched with the feeling of our infirmities,” and “was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”

If faith takes hold of this work of our great High Priest for us, the darkness of doubt is gone, the “Spirit also helped our infirmities,” and we find ourselves safely sheltered in His pardoning love. ALBERT M. DART.
