COMFORT FOR THE TEMPTED.
[By C. H. Spurgeon.]
If one set of troubles co .ies to a Christian man, another set of troubles generally departs from him. John Bradford, the famous martyr, was often subject to rheumatism and depression of spirits, m which I can greatly sympathise with him ; but when he was laid by the heels m a foul, damp dungeon, and knew that he would never come out, except to die, he wrote :
"It is a singular thing that ever since I have been m this prison, and have had other trials to bear,/ 1 have had no touch of my rheumatism or my depression of spirit." Was not that a very blessed thing? And you will usually find that it is so ; you shall not be tempted above what you are able to bear, because God will permit the trial to come at a time when you are best able to stand up under it.
