Victory in Reverses

"Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit
in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me" (Micah 7:8).

This may express the feelings of a man or woman downtrodden and oppressed. Our
enemy may put out our light for a season. There is sure hope for us in the
LORD; and if we are trusting in Him and holding fast our integrity, our season
of downcasting and darkness will soon be over. The insults of the foe are only
for a moment. The LORD will soon turn their laughter into lamentation and our
sighing into singing.

What if the great enemy of souls should for a while triumph over us, as he has
triumphed over better men than we are; yet let us take heart, for we shall
overcome him before long. We shall rise from our fall, for our God has not
fallen, and He will lift us up. We shall not abide in darkness, although for
the moment we sit in it; for our LORD is the fountain of light, and He will
soon bring us a joyful day. Let us not despair or even doubt. One turn of the
wheel, and the lowest will be at the top. Woe unto those who laugh now, for
they shall mourn and weep when their boasting is turned into everlasting
contempt. But blessed are all holy mourners, for they shall be divinely
comforted.

"Return unto thy rest, O my soul." Ps. 116. 7

Return to thy rest, my soul, and rejoice; Let Christ be thy boast, for thou art
his choice; And though sin and Satan, and their hellish guest, Do vex and
dishearten, Jehovah's thy rest. 2
A sweet resting-place is Jesus to thee; A fulness of grace, rich, sovereign,
and free; From slavish works cease, then, and rest in the Lamb, For Christ is
thy freedom from wrath, law, and sin. 3
O yield not to fear, rest only in Christ; His promise is sure: he's Jesus thy
Priest; And by one atonement thy sin has condemned, Then by himself sworn that
he'll love to the end.
4
Return, then, my soul, to Jesus, thy Rest; By faith on him roll, and lean on
his breast; He will not deceive thee; his faithfulness prove; He never can
leave thee, till God is not love.
