No Trial is without God's Blessings
According to a legend, a king once placed a heavy stone in the roadway. Then he hid and waited to see who would remove it. Many who came by loudly blamed the king's administration for not keeping the highways clear, but none assumed the duty of pushing the obstacle out of the way.
At last, a poor peasant stopped and rolled it into the gutter. To his surprise, he found a bag full of gold embedded in the road beneath the spot where the rock had been. A note said it was the king's reward for anyone who removed the troublesome object.
So too, our King has hidden a blessing under every trial.
The obstacles on our path are placed there for a purpose. By them, God tests our faithfulness, turns our attention heavenward, and gives us opportunity for spiritual reward.
Hidden under the "rock" of trial, that has brought you to feel "very low", is a special blessing. Roll your burden on the Lord, and in time you will find the divine favour.
Attend to my cry,
for I am brought very low."
Psalm 142:6
