Thou Wilt Revive Me
"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me" (Ps. 138:7). The Hebrew rendering of the above is "go on in the center of trouble." What descriptive words! We have called on God in the day of trouble; we have pleaded His promise of deliverance but no deliverance has been given; the enem... Read More

Thresh the Mountains
"Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt" (Matt. 15:28). By faith the walls of Jericho fell down--yet what more unlikely! We walk by faith. Do we? What record is there on high of things that by faith we have obtained? Is each step each da... Read More

Through Faith
"Pressed out of measure" (2 Cor. 1:8). "That the power of Christ may rest upon me" (2 Cor. 12:9). God allowed the crisis to close around Jacob on the night when he bowed at Peniel in supplication, to bring him to the place where he could take hold of God as he never would have done; and from that na...

Through the Fire
"So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning" (Job 42:12). Through his griefs Job came to his heritage. He was tried that his godliness might be confirmed. Are not my troubles intended to deepen my character and to robe me in graces I had little of before? I come to my glory th... Read More

Thy Rod and Thy Staff
"Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" (Ps. 23:4). At my father's house in the country there is a little closet in the chimney corner where are kept the canes and walking-sticks of several generations of our family. In my visits to the old house, when my father and I are going out for a walk, we of... Read More

Trained to Comfort
"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God" (Isa. 40:1). Store up comfort. This was the prophet's mission. The world is full of comfortless hearts, and ere thou art sufficient for this lofty ministry, thou must be trained. And thy training is costly in the extreme; for, to render it perfect, ... Read More

Treasures in the Darkness
"Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was" (Exod. 20:21). God has still His hidden secrets, hidden from the wise and prudent. Do not fear them; be content to accept things that you cannot understand; wait patiently. Presently He will reveal to you the treasures of darkness, the riches o... Read More

Trouble is a Messenger
"My Father is the husbandman" (John 15:1). It is comforting to think of trouble, in whatever form it may come to, us, as a heavenly messenger, bringing us something from God. In its earthly aspect it may seem hurtful, even destructive; but in its spiritual out-working it yields blessing. Many of the... Read More

Trouble Teaches
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1). The question often comes, "Why didn't He help me sooner?" It is not His order. He must first adjust you to the trouble and cause you to learn your lesson from it. His promise is, "I will be with him in trouble; I will deliv... Read More

Trust Amid the Silence
"He answered her not a word" (Matt. 15:23). "He will be silent in his love" (Zeph. 3:17). It may be a child of God is reading these words who has had some great crushing sorrow, some bitter disappointment, some heart-breaking blow from a totally unexpected quarter. You are longing for your Master's ... Read More

Trust and Rest
"Trust also in him" (Ps. 37:3). The word trust is the heart word of faith. It is the Old Testament word, the word given to the early and infant stage of faith. The word faith expresses more the act of the will, the word belief the act of the mind or intellect, but trust is the language of the heart.... Read More

Trust in His Promises
"God...calleth those things which be not as though they were" (Rom. 4:17). What does that mean? Why Abraham did this thing: he dared to believe God. It seemed an impossibility at his age that Abraham should become the father of a child; it looked incredible; and yet God called him a "father of many ... Read More

Trust in Spite of How it Looks
"This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith" (1 John 5:4). It is easy to love Him when the blue is in the sky, When summer winds are blowing, and we smell the roses nigh; There is little effort needed to obey His precious will When it leads through flower-decked valley, or over su...

Unadorned Life
"These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for his work" (1 Chron. 4:23). Anywhere and everywhere we may dwell "with the king for his work." We may be in a very unlikely and unfavorable place for this; it may be in a literal country life, wi... Read More

Unanswered?
"Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily" (Luke 18:6, 7). God's seasons are not at your beck. If the first stroke of the flint doth not bring forth the fire,... Read More

Unshaken in Christ
"God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early" (Ps. 46:2, 3, 5) "Shall not be moved"--what an inspiring declaration! Can it be possible that we, who are so easily moved by the things of earth, can arrive at a place where nothing can upset us or disturb... Read More

Upper Springs
"And Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? Who answered, give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs" (Joshua 15:18, 19). There are both upper and nether springs. They are springs, not stagnant p... Read More

Victorious Living is Possible
"Nothing shall be impossible unto you" (Matt. 17:20). It is possible, for those who really are willing to reckon on the power of the Lord for keeping and victory, to lead a life in which His promises are taken as they stand and are found to be true. It is possible to cast all our care upon Him daily... Read More

Victorious Suffering
"Out of the spoils won in battle did they dedicate to maintain the house of the Lord" (1 Chron. 26:27). Physical force is stored in the bowels of the earth, in the coal mines, which came from the fiery heat that burned up great forests in ancient ages; and so spiritual force is stored in the depths ...

Vineyards in the Wilderness
"I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness…And I will give her her vineyards from thence" (Hosea 2:14-15). A strange place to find vineyards--in the wilderness! And can it be that the riches which a soul needs can be obtained in the wilderness, which stands for a lonely place, out of whic... Read More
