We may take great encouragement in looking upward to God when round about us we see nothing but what is discouraging. It is sad to see, how regardless of most men are of their own happiness, but it is comfortable to think that the wise and faithful God will effectually secure the interests of his own glory. Yeshua answered and said, I thank thee.

Thanksgiving is a proper answer to dark and disquieting thoughts and maybe an effective means to silence them. Songs of praise are sovereign cordials to drooping souls and will help to cure melancholy. When we have no other answer ready to the suggestions of grief and fear, we may have recourse to this, I thank thee, O Father let us bless God that it is not worse with us than it is.

We are shown what the answer to overcoming Satan’s torments, lies and lifes deceptions are in Romans 12:16 “Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be arrogant, but be friendly to humble people. Don’t think that you are smarter than you really are.
