Confidence in God Through Messiah

"As Craigie says, 'At the end, the psalmist has seen that he is better off than his adversaries. He has advised THEM to lie still on their beds, in an attempt to curtail their evil…but he could lie on HIS bed and sleep the sleep of peace which came from God.' It is always that way. If we leave our problems with God, he WILL shoulder them. And he will enable us to sleep in peace." – James Montgomery Boice
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
"This assurance, however, is not produced by any peculiar revelation contrary to or independent of the Word of God, but springs from faith in Gods promises, which He has most abundantly revealed in His Word for our comfort; from the testimony of the Holy Spirit, witnessing with our spirit that we are children and heirs of God (Rom. 8:16); and lastly, from a serious and holy desire to preserve a good conscience and to perform good works. And if the elect of God were deprived of this solid comfort that they shall finally obtain the victory, and of this infallible pledge of eternal glory, they would be of all men the most miserable." Canons of Dort, Fifth Head of Doctrine, Article 10
