During an interesting part of my life in which there were a lot

of temptations and trials, I read a short little book by the" Rev. Henry

Scougal called The Life of God in the Soul of Man. 1 read this book 10

times because it meant so much to me dining that time. A]~I each

time I read it, its message became more and more meaningtF1

This book showed me how my life can be filled wit~tjoy All I

had to do was really believe in God, always be dependent on Him and

always worship Him. Then my trials and temptations would be

overshadowed by my love for God and my joy in resting in Him.

The Psalmist explains it so beautifully this way:

Whom have I in heaven but you?

And earth has nothing I desire besides.you.

My flesh and my heart may fall,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my portion forever.

Psalm 73:25-26
