Finding Hope in Loneliness With Amy Carmichael

DAY 7 OF 8

Even the Death of the Cross

To each of us there is something which seems simply impos­sible to get on top of. I know my special foe and all this week I have had to live looking off to Jesus, the Author and (thank God) the Finisher of our faith. (I have just now turned to Hebrews 12:2 to make sure that word is really there.) Psalm 138:8 is another standby. Oh, blessed be the eternal Word of God! Feelings may change (they do), we may change and fall (we do), but His Word stands steadfast. It cannot fail.

Don’t you think that some of us must know the trials of misty weather if we are to be enabled to understand when others are in the mist?

My word yesterday was “Even the death of the cross.” There is an “even” in most lives. God help us not to shrink back from that “even” (Phil. 2:8).
