SCRIPTURE

"How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?" — Psalms 74:10 (ASV)

O God, how long shall the adversary reproach?... - How long shall this state of things be allowed to continue? Is there to be no end to it? Are these desolations never to be repaired—these ruins never to be rebuilt? It seemed so; and therefore, this earnest appeal.

So to us it often appears as if our trials were never to come to an end. One calamity succeeds another; and there comes no relief. Yet there is relief. Deliverance may come, and soon come, in the present life; or if not in the present life, yet to all those who are the children of God it will soon come by their removal to a world where trial will be forever unknown.
