Job was bragged on by God to Satan when He said of the old patriarch, “There is none like him in the earth.” But in spite of this, this good and godly man tells us, “Yet trouble came.”
The apostle Paul was “troubled on every side,” as he put it. Yet, he admonishes the Thessalonian believers (and us), “To you who are troubled rest with us.” Every saint should be able to sing from their heart, “I have found a resting place.” That place first being used by John the Beloved, “leaning on Jesus bosom.”
Again, going to the book of Job, we find a question each troubled soul is brought face to face with. A question that requires an honest answer, “Are the consolations of God [too] small with thee?” What be your answer, child of the Living God?
"I have great relief in talking of my blessings rather than my troubles."
