William made a statement on another thread that for some reason reminded me of a line from a poem written many years ago. He said, to the effect, we need to look at the 'big picture' when facing adversity and start believing what God has said. He used I Corinthians 10:13 as a reminder and to encourage the reader.

"Next time something doesn't go exactly to your 'confession of faith', remember that..." and he quotes I Corth.10:13 (and I was paraphrasing what he said)

It reminded me of Rudyard Kipling's poem titled 'IF', and the line I thought of was...

"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat these two imposters just the same;"

Not putting an English poet's words on par with The Word of God, just thought it was a good quote with much wisdom...actually much of the poem gives some wise advice.

That is what faith works in a believer, to trust God whether we're on top of the mountain, or feel as though the mountain is on top of us. Big picture? Look to Jesus, not at the circumstances, good or bad.

"...God is faithful..."

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
