Every bitter cup
(Newman Hall, "Leaves
of Healing
from the Garden of
Grief" 1891)
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble,
and I will deliver you." Psalm 50:15
If God is willing to help us, who can stay His hand?
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain
and hill be made low. Fountains shall spring up in
the wilderness, and a path be opened through the
great waters. In His hands are the hearts of all men.
He can thwart the malice of foes, or make our enemies
to be at peace with us. He who rescued Israel from
Egypt, and Jerusalem from Sennacherib, and Daniel
from the lions, is still as able to remove from His
children every bitter cup--or give them
grace to
drink it.
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble,
and I will deliver you." Psalm 50:15
