New Hope Reformed Church

Do you have troubles and sorrows this day? Are there things that bother you deeply? Well, join the club. We still live in a world of tears and sorrow but God has included us. He has brought us into His presence in Christ. None of the sorrows or troubles you are working with can compare to the grace He has given. Let us be thankful to God with no change in our outer experience at all because we do not need it. God has blessed us with Himself in Christ. He has opened His temple and brought us to Himself. Everything else pales in comparison that that. Now we find God good and we find God gracious. We take our troubles and sorrows to Him in prayer (and I encourage you to do so) but if not one of your prayers this day is answered as you would have it be thankful and grateful anyway. God has brought you to Himself in Christ. There is no greater blessing beyond.
