(James Smith, “The Pastor’s Evening Visit”)
“If I were you — I would seek unto God! I would lay my cause before Him!” Job 5:8
This is sound advice. It is much better than . . .
seeking unto men, or
poring over troubles, or
indulging a gloomy imagination, or
giving way to fears.
My friend, I know not what your trouble may be — but “If I were you — I would seek unto God!”
If I was in perplexity — I would seek unto God for wisdom.
And If I was in sorrow — I would seek unto God for comfort.
If I was in weakness — I would seek unto God for strength.
And If I was under guilt — I would seek unto God for pardon.
If I was in a severe conflict — I would seek unto God for victory.
And If I was in doubt and fear — I would seek unto God for confidence and a sense of His favor.
If I was harassed by Satan — I would seek unto almighty God for protection.
And If I was afraid of falling — I would seek unto God to uphold me with His omnipotent arm.
If I was alarmed at death — I would seek for His presence to comfort me.
Whatever you need — seek it from God!
Or Whatever you fear — carry it to God!
Whatever troubles you — lay it before God!
You cannot seek unto Him in vain, or without profit!
