Jesus brought me here. By His will I am in this strait place; in that will I "rejoice " (i Pet. 4:12, 13).
Even here He will keep me "in His love" (Isa. 63:9) and give me "grace" and "glory" (Ps.84:ii; Rom. 5:3, 5).
Surely He will make the trial" a blessing " (Deut.23:5) teaching me the lessons He means me to learn (Heb. 5:8).
Under the trial I will be quiet (Ps. 37:7, marg.), for in His good time He will bring me out again-
just how and when, He knows best (Zeph. 3:19,20).
So then, I am here-
By God's appointment (2 Tim. 2:12).
In His keeping (i Pet. i:5).
Under His training (Rev. 3:19).
For His time (Eccl. 3:11).
That I may glorify Him (i Pet. 4:16).
And comfort others (2 Cor. i:4-6).
