Billy, isnt it true - there hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man?
Thanks for dropping by and for your recommendation.
God's promises are ever true.

Billy and 2G, may we trust Jesus whatever betide:
Trusting Jesus (Edgar Page Stites)
--
Simply trusting every day,
Trusting through a stormy way
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Refrain
Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate'er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Brightly does His Spirit shine
Into this poor heart of mine;
While He leads I cannot fall;
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Refrain
Singing if my way is clear,
Praying if the path be drear;
If in danger for Him call;
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Refrain
Trusting Him while life shall last,
Trusting Him till earth be past;
Till within the jasper wall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Refrain
When we come to the end of ourselves we find Jesus there.

Shadow,
For some time I resisted writing this blog, but that song "Standing somewhere in the shadows you'll find Jesus" kept playing in my mind.. this song I have not sung since I was a teenager so many years ago. Was it meant specifically for you Shadow? I do not know.. but He knows that there are several others who have burdens piled so high they can hardly breathe... and I pray that the message of this blog will breathe Jesus, His new life and energy and hope and faith to one who feels hopeless..sitting there wondering what to do and seeing the world go swirling by, too fast to catch up... for that one to realize in "that all important moment when the world seems to be crushing in on you to realize that He is still there.. and to realize there is no reason you have to bear your burdens alone." You, Shadow have said it better in so few words, much better than I have said it. His promises are ever true.. "Lo I am with you, even to the end of the world."
The Lord IS there... ..let Him take over and don't take that burden back on to yourself. His faithful who promised.

Thanks for the reminder of where Jesus is when we go through difficult times in our life. All christians will have to go through many trials and tribulations, temptations, big or small, so that we will be refined for His use ,and also these experiences change us to be like Jesus, into His character.
This reminder is what I need as I am going through many years of difficult times of business failures, friends' misunderstanding, misunderstandings amongt the family, and even sickness. I am reminded that Jesus is silently helping beside me.
May the Lord re-assures and guides me more clearly in such times of confusion and frustration. I need Jesus more and more!
May Jesus also with you always and through any difficult times,
From Silverpen

Silverpen,
May I share another well-loved hymn with you:
I've seen the lightning flashing, I've heard the thunder roll.
I've felt sin's breakers dashing, which almost conquered my soul.
I've heard the voice of my Savior, bidding me still to fight on.
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone!
Refrain
No, never alone, no never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
He'll claim me for His own;
No, never alone, no never alone.
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
The world's fierce winds are blowing, temptation sharp and keen.
I have a peace in knowing my Savior stands between
He stands to shield me from danger when my friends are all gone.
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone!
Refrain
When in affliction's valley I tread the road of care,
My Savior helps me carry the cross so heavy to bear;
Though all around me is darkness, earthly joys all flown;
My Savior whispers His promise, never to leave me alone!
Refrain
He died on Calvary's mountain, for me they pierc'¨d His side.
For me He opened that fountain, the crimson, cleansing tide.
For me He waiteth in glory, seated upon His throne.
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone!
Refrain
Words: Ludie D. Pickett
May you know that the Saviour shields you from dangers when your friends are gone.
He will never leave you alone. Amen.

Dear Possum,
Dwight L Moody shared : One drop of God's strength is worth more than all the world.
May you receive that drop of God's strength everyday to do what He has purposed for you.
Love in Christ sent on wings of prayer

Does the Lord ever give you more than you can bear? 
it is more than I can bear when :
It is not pity you need but power to rise up again in hope and faith and tenacity of purpose and endurance.
Standing somewhere in the shadows you'll find Jesus 
Ah Jesus!! in his doubts You told doubting Thomas to "Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless but believing." John 20:29
