I have been on my journey
through Bronchitis Land and all the exciting side roads there.
The wonderful
thing about the journey is that the Lord waked beside me all the way.
Hopefully, I can
now get back to posting regularly
and sharing the lessons
I have learned along the way
This poem is one I
read many years ago and I hope it will be a
source of comfort
and blessing to some of you who are too going
through some of
life’s problems.
Wit’s End Corner
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 numb?
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.

They mount up to the heaven, they go down
again to the depths:
their soul is melted because of trouble.
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a
drunken man,
and are at their wits' end.
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble,
and he
bringeth them out of their distresses.
Psalm 107:26-28
I have made a
couple cards to post:
Have a wonderful week in the Lord!!
Sorry to hear that you have been under the weather with that nasty bronchitis, oh that can hang on forever. My husband always gets it in His chest should be become ill. His mother said he has had that problem since he was very young. Working with saw dust doesn't help, but He does wear a very good mask.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord touch you with His tender and healing hand.
I love your green card that you created, wow, it was stunning, really popped.
Thank you for that beautiful poem, so very true in that God is in that corner ready to meet us in our time of need.
So nice to visit with you, dear friend.
Love and hugs, Debbie
Thank you for your kind comments. You always are an encouragement to me. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteSweet friend, I am so sorry that you have been so sick...how my heart goes out to you! Your testimony is precious and such a shining light. I hope you are feeling better now?
ReplyDeleteLovely words and beautiful cards, dear one. Have a blessed week. Hugs!
I am doing much better and hoping to get back to making more cards and being consistent with my blog. Thank you for your concern and care. Hugs.
DeleteSuch an encouraging poem, such beautiful cards as well! Shaz told me that you were poorly so we have been praying for you and will continue to do so. Take care of yourself! xx
ReplyDeleteI am doing much better and hope to be more consistent with my blogging and cards. Heard that you were without internet for a while. Missed you. Hope that things are much better in your area. Love you. Hugs.
DeleteAhhhh dear sweet Mehrll, I love this poem too, and it has oft cheered my heart as have the verses, I love how Gids precious word uses something we would call colloquial slang like being at our wits end. God gets it totally.
ReplyDeleteGlad He has walked with you all the way though the lonely painful path of Bonchitis. Truly at such times He knows the fraility of our frame...that we are but dust. Love you sis.
Thanks so much for the inspiration,

What would we do without God's Word. I love to read it and absorb what He is telling us. He really cares for us. I am feeling much better thanks to the prayers of my many internet and local friends. Glad you had a good trip and great visits. Hugs.
