When we by His grace pass through whatever trial or difficulty faces us now, we shall find this word waiting to refresh us again.

We are called to serve with a willing mind just where we are, and just as things are. 

For loyal comradeship that grows 
The stronger for each wind that blows;

But most of all because Thou art 
The sunshine of my happy heart.

‘O may God preserve us’, Pastor Monod wrote, ‘from making the word of man the first thing, and communion with Jesus a secondary matter.’

When one is in great pain or trouble, or caught suddenly by fierce temptation, it is the word of strength or comfort that is set deep in the memory that takes life. 

He cares for us.  He who has loved, will love;  He who has led, will lead;  He who has kept, will keep.

The seed of joy is sown for us, and the seed of God is imperishable.

What is your greatest need today?  There is in this wonderful Book of ours the exact word that meets that need.
