It is inevitable that quandaries will come. Some from out of the blue and some of my own creation. The comforting truth is, God will always "revive me" in His own special way.

"How did you get that black eye?" A friend asked me the next day. It was
a perfectly innocent question so I cheerfully (if you can be cheerful 
with a black eye) said, "I ran into a door last night." 

I thought this would be the end of the matter. Boy, was I ever in for a
shock. 

"Sure, you did," my friend replied sarcastically. Then he winked. I soon
realized I was in for some trouble. You can only do so much to hide a 
black eye. 

Another friend: "What happened to your eye? You talked back to your wife
or something?" This is usually followed by that insidious laugh, "Tee, 
hee, hee." 

Why is it that when a person gets a black eye from running into a door
nobody believes him? After all, I'm not in the habit of telling 
outright lies. I may exaggerate or rearrange the facts, but I never 
would outright lie about anything. Especially if related to my wife. 

While feeling a little blue over my black eye, I discovered something in
my Bible. David knew of quandaries and wrote many Psalms celebrating 
this fact of life. 

"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt
stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy 
right hand shall save me" (Psalms 138:7). 

It is inevitable that quandaries will come. Some from out of the blue
and some of my own creation. The comforting truth is, God will always 
"revive me" in His own special way.
