TRUST AND NOT BE AFRAID.

By Spurgeon

LET us trust and not be afraid. Let us not be content with sullenly making up our minds to stoical endurance. We must not only bear the will of God, but rejoice in it. It is a blessed thing when we come to rejoice in tribulations and to glory in infirmities. It is fine music when we can sing “sweet affliction.” If thy will is brought to thy circumstances, and, better still, if thy will is brought to delight in God’s will, then the fangs of the serpent are extracted. The bitterness is sucked out of sorrow by the lips of acquiescence. When thou canst say, “Not my will but Thine be done,” thou shalt have thy will. There is always something better on for those who believe in Jesus.—Spurgeon.
