Trusting the Lord

I was half joking when I responded last week, "I'm officially in the panic mode," to whoever asked me about my Anhui preparation. I will joke no more after I read Spurgeon's morning and evening devotion last night.

"Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength."
Isaiah 26:4


Seeing that we have such a God to trust to, let us rest upon him with all our weight; let us resolutely drive out all unbelief, and endeavour to get rid of doubts and fears, which so much mar our comfort; since there is no excuse for fear where God is the foundation of our trust. A loving parent would be sorely grieved if his child could not trust him; and how ungenerous, how unkind is our conduct when we put so little confidence in our heavenly Father who has never failed us, and who never will.
