The rapid succession of trials is one of the sorest tests of faith.
Before we have recovered from one blow it is followed by others, until
we are staggered……….
Still, the equally quick succession of deliverances is exceedingly
CHEERING!
New songs are rung out upon the anvil by the hammer of affliction, till
we see in the spiritual world the antitype of “The Harmonious Blacksmith”.
Our confidence is that, when the Lord makes our trials six, six they
will be and no more.
It may be that we have no rest day, for seven troubles come upon
us.
What then?
“In seven no evil shall touch you”
Evil may roar at us, its hot breath may distress us, but its little finger cannot be
laid upon us.
So we will meet the six or the seven troubles, and leave fear to those
who have no Father and no Saviour.
CH Spurgeon
