Begone, unbelief, My Savior is near, And for my relief Will surely appear; By prayer let me wrestle, And He will perform; With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. |

Though dark be my way, Since He is my Guide, ’Tis mine to obey, ’Tis His to provide; Though cisterns be broken, And creatures all fail, The word He hath spoken Shall surely prevail. |

His love, in time past, Forbids me to think He’ll leave me at last In trouble to sink: Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review Confirms His good pleasure To help me quite through. |

Why should I complain Of want or distress, Temptation or pain? He told me no less; The heirs of salvation, I know from His Word, Through much tribulation Must follow their Lord. |

How bitter that cup No heart can conceive, Which He drank quite up, That sinners might live! His way was much rougher And darker than mine; Did Christ, my Lord, suffer, And shall I repine? |

Since all that I meet Shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, The medicine, food; Though painful at present, ’Twill cease before long, And then, oh, how pleasant The conqueror’s song! |

From the record of Matthew 11 we may conclude that our Lord is One who is doubted, blasphemed, and rejected. Now what would you do if, in your life and work, you too met with such an unfortunate chain of events perpetrated by the very people with whom you are associated? How could you help but be heartbroken and discouraged, judging that all is lost. Yet not so with our Lord. The Bible reports His attitude at that moment as being this:
“At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. ” “At that season” means at that particular moment, which is to say, that in the very environment in which He is so doubted, so blasphemed, and so rejected, our Lord is able to pray: “I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth. ” There is no bitterness nor sorrow in His heart. He neither frets nor becomes angered. How about you and me, though? Could you and I still thank God even though we are being doubted, slandered, and rejected without cause? Here is a very deep lesson indeed: that we must thank God not only when we obtain something, or when our work prospers, or when we are being admired by many; we must learn to thank Him also when we are doubted, slandered, and rejected without cause. Can you and I thank Him under such an adverse situation? (Practical Issues of This Life, Watchman Nee)

I was listening to a message titled Suffering in a Christian by Roy Hession, when I heard Brother Roy quoting a verse from this well-loved hymn... a favourite of my late mum. I couldn't but search and sing it in meditation. And yes,
"Each sweet Ebenezer
I have in review
Confirms His good pleasure
To help me quite through."
Thank you, brethren, for blessing the Body of Christ with this hymn site!
