WIT'S END CORNER

WIT'S END CORNER

Yesterday I shared with you what the Lord had given me in the morning, the promise that "My grace IS sufficient." The turned out to be another day of testing and challenges. At one point during the day I felt like I had really reached the limit of what I could handle. It was like I was at my wit's end. It was in the still small whisper that God spoke to my heart and reminded me that His grace IS sufficient.

This morning in my time with the Lord, the phrase "WIT'S END" showed up. How timely! God knows what we need when we need it. Oswald Chambers said today, "When you come to your wit's end and feel inclined to panic -- don't! Stand true to God and He will bring out HIS truth in a way that will make your life and expression of worship."

David in Psalm 107:28 said: "They were at their wits end. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress." Psalm 107:27-28. I was reminded of a poem that I read in STREAMS IN THE DESERT ...

Are you standing at "Wit's End Corner,"
Christian, with troubled brow?
Are you thinking of what is before you,
And all you are bearing now?
Does all the world seem against you,
And you in the battle alone?
Remember -- at "Wit's End Corner"
Is just where God's power is shown.

Are you standing at "Wits End Corner,'
Blinded with wearying pain,
Feeling you cannot endure it,
You cannot bear the strain,
Bruised through the constant suffering,
Dizzy and dazed, and numb?
Remember at "Wit's End Corner"
Is where Jesus loves to come/

Are you standing at "Wit's End Corner"
You work before you spread,
All lying begun, unfinished,
And pressing on heart and head.
Longing for strength to do it,
Stretching out trembling hands?
Remember at "Wit's End Corner"
The Burden-Bearer stands.

Are you standing at "Wit's End Corner"?
Then you're just in the very spot
To learn the wondrous resources
Of Him who fails you not:
No doubt to a brighter pathway
Your footsteps will soon be moved,
But only at "Wit's End Corner"
Is the "God who is able" proved.

Well my friend, are you at Wit's End Corner? I was yesterday. And God met me at my point of need! His grace WAS sufficient, it will be ... and it is!!! Rejoice in that promise today.
