DAILY READINGS: 2 Sam. 8-9; Hab. 1; Rom. 14:19 to 15:13
He himself hath suff ered being tempted, He is able to succour
them that are tempted. Hebrews 2:18
Trials and temptations oft en assail the child of God, but he is not left to
struggle alone. The Lord is able and willing to succour them that are
tempted. The reason of course is that He Himself endured trials while
here on earth. His succour will come to us directly through prayer and
meditation in the Scriptures. It may also be through the help of others
who themselves have trodden the vale of tears. We should therefore
welcome the support of the Lord and allow Him into our suff ering. He
really does care for us, so cast all your care on Him. —Roy Hill
O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Saviour, and life more abundant and free.—H. H. L.
