SELLEST OSAST
I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 31st of May, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.
“They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits’ end.
Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.”
Psalm 107:27-28
I want to ask you a question this morning. Are you at your wit’s end? “Angus, I sure am, I don’t know which way to go. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what not to do. I am at my wit’s end.” Well, I have a beautiful poem to read to you this morning, written by a lady by the name of Antoinette Wilson. It is a beautiful poem and it goes like this:
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 Wit's-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 dumb?
Remember — at Wit's-End Corner
Is where Jesus loves to come.
Are you standing at Wit's-End Corner
Your 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 faileth 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.
I want to say to you today, do not be discouraged. You are battling but you know something, the last key on the ring might be the one that opens the door.
Have a wonderful day,
Jesus bless you and goodbye.
