Disappointed hopes 2
Tribulation works patience;
[Ro5:3]
Why are you cast down, Oh my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope you in God. for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. ■ For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. ■ When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary of God. then understood I their end. ■ Cast your burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain you.
[Ps42:5 | Ps73:3 | Ps73:16-17 | Ps55:22]
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me. I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me. that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear. and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
[2Ti4:16-17]
For it was not an enemy that reproached me. then I could have borne it. But it was you, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in company.
[Ps55:12-14]
The just Lord is in the midst thereof. he will not do iniquity. every morning does he bring his judgment to light, he fails not. but the unjust knows no shame.
[Zep3:5]
