The believer is never HELPLESS. Help is both within reach and on the way. We may be helped against the devil, against doubt, discouragement and deception. Then let us sing:
"When other helpers fail
and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless,
oh, abide with me."
He will abide!
For this reason we shall neither fear nor panic because "My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:19)
"God would be better pleased to have SIX THOROUGHLY CONVERTED to the truth than to have SIXTY MAKE a PROFESSION and yet not be truly converted." GW 369.3
2 Corinthians 5:17 "Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new." ANY MAN is any man; learned or ignorant, black or white, rich or poor, addicted and lascivious. Grace has neither limitation nor partiality.
May this knowledge give us a broader perspective especially of our seemingly foiled plans. Beyond every dark cloud lies bright beams of a glorious hereafter in Christ.
