In difficulties lies opportunities

Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low. (Psalm 142:6)

A king once placed a heavy stone in the roadway. Then he hid and waited to see who would remove it. Many who came by loudly blamed the goverment for not keeping the highways clear, but none assumed the duty of pushing the obstacle out of the way.
At last a poor peasant stopped and rolled it into the gutter. To his surprise he found a bag full of gold embedded in the road beneath the spot where the rock had been. . . .

So too, our King has hidden a blessing under every trail. By the obstacles on our path God tests our faithfulness, turns our attention heavenward, and gives us opportunity for spiritual reward.
