The 34th Psalm is one of my favor
tie Psalms. You may see me sign my
name sometimes and l put Psalm 81,
because that is my favorite psalm.
That text was put in the Bible to
help people that were having a hard
time, so it must have been put in
there to help a good many people.
life has a hard time.
What the Lord did for that poor
man he will do for all, If all will do
what that poor man did.
This poor man cried, and the Lord
heard him and saved him out of all
his troubles"
There never was case known Of
a man or a woman in trouble who
did what this man did and the LORD
failed to help them.
When Jesus was here on earth, he
helped everybody that sought his help,
and he helped good many that didn't
seek his help, and he never sent any
body away with a heavy heart The
disciples often wanted him to do 1t,
but he always replied, They need
not depart"
This Young Man
Missed Chance.
The only one we have any record
of that went away with a heavy heart
was the rich young ruler. He had SO
much money and he was such prom
inent young fellow that he thought he
could get along without Jesus Christ,
and one of the interesting things
when l get to Heaven and look around
upon the beauty and find that that
young fellow isn't there, will be to
see what a fool he was and what he
missed by going away from Jesus.
and to see what Jesus wanted him to
come to when he wanted him to for
sake his sins.
So, it will be amazing to think
that anybody could turn away, and
that isn't all, God told him it was
all there, so he didn't go away ig-
norant. So, If you turn your back
on God, you are not going away ie-
norant. The Lord tells you that
"you have not seen nor heard, Meth
err hath 1t entered into the heart OF
man the things that God hath pre-
pared for them that love him."
So if you turn your back on Heaven,
you know what you are going to. you
are going to He'll, and you know all
about that. Nobody is left in the dark
about it.
What familiar sound this word
trouble" has That's one word ev-
erybody knows the meaning of. You
never need to look into a dictionSI'y
to find out what trouble" means. 1t
meets us all at the cradle and It's
kept mighty close to everybody from
that minute until now.
Every Back
Has It's Burden.
Job said, Man that is born OF
woman is of few days and full OF
trouble" "Yet man is born unto
trouble. as the sparks fly upward
There is no back on earth that
doesn't have its burden, no heart on
earth that doesn't have its sorrow
Trouble is the common lot of US all
We are not all rich. We are not all
wise; we are not all ignorant. We
are not all sick; we are not all well
but we all of us have trouble. Thai
is one thing that everybody's got.
You may have some things

the ignorant people who don't know
the A. 3. c's. They know somethin!
of trouble everywhere.
The millionaire can build hom

No Trouble

So this world. and the one to whic
the wicked are going, are the onl
