The Love of Christ in Afflictions (David Harsha)

Job 5:6-9

“Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;” Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number:"

"A few more trials; a few more tears; a few more days of darkness, and we shall be forever with the Lord. In this tabernacle we groan, being burdened: All dark things shall yet be cleared up; all sufferings healed; all blanks supplied; and we shall find fullness of joy (not one drop lacking) in the smile and presence of our God. It is one of the laws of Christ's kingdom– 'we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.' We must not reckon upon a smooth road to glory, but it will be a short one." (McCheyne)

"Be still, my soul, and know the Lord; 
In meek submission wait His will, 
His presence can true peace afford, 
His power can shield from every ill. 
Your path is strewed with piercing thorns;
Each step is gained by arduous fight, 
Yet wait, till hope's bright morning dawns, 
Till darkness changes into light. 
Soon shall the painful conflict cease; 
Soon shall the raging storm be o'er; 
Soon shall you reach the realms of peace, 
Where suffering shall be known no more. 
There shall your joy forever flow 
In one unbroken stream of bliss; 
There shall your God the Savior know, 
And feel Him yours as you are His." 

Cleave closely to Jesus; you shall soon see Him as He is; then your afflictions, and trials, and days of mourning will have ended; you shall reign with Jesus, and be like Him. "And I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again."
