"Prove me now herewith" (Mal. 3: 10).
     
       "When God tests You it is a good time for you to test Him by putting His promises to the proof, and claiming from Him just as much as your trials have rendered necessary."
     
      There are two ways of getting out of a trial. One is to simply try to get rid of the trial, and be thankful when it is over. The other is to recognize the trial as a challenge from God to claim a larger blessing than we have ever had, and to hail it with delight as an opportunity of obtaining a larger measure of Divine grace.
     
      Thus even the adversary becomes an auxiliary, and the things that seem to be against us turn out to be for the furtherance of our way. Surely, this is to be more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
     
      Blessed Rose of Sharon
          Breathe upon our heart,
      Fill us with Thy fragrance,
          Keep us as Thou art.
      Then Thy life will make us
          Holy and complete;
      In Thy grace triumphant,
          In Thy sweetness, sweet.
