Sometimes I think I have it tough.  But then I read a little more in our current Men of the Word Bible study book, a biography of Adoniram Judson.  Judson is often called “The Father of American Missions,” spending almost 40 years intensely laboring in what was then called Burma.  He and his wife were no strangers to sickness, danger, persecution, heartache, and, at times, separation.  We often forget that great servants of God go through many deep waters both physically and emotionally.  In a section of the book I read this week, Judson was at one such low, very low point.  He wrote that at times he wished that he and his wife could simply find a quiet place to rest and minister without hard times.  He was discouraged.  He was tired.  He was thinking what you and I would probably think.  But then, in a letter, he wrote these words: “But I fled to Jesus, and all such thoughts soon passed away.  Life is short.  Happiness consists not in outward circumstances.  Millions of Burmans are perishing…. How great are my obligations to spend and be spent for Christ!  What a privilege to be allowed to serve Him in such interesting circumstances and to suffer for Him!”  I love the way he put it – “interesting circumstances.”  Indeed.  But I love even more how he handled them – “I fled to Jesus.”  Perhaps that’s you today.  You find yourself facing “interesting circumstances.”  Let me say that the same Jesus to whom Adoniram Judson fled is standing and waiting for you.  Flee to Him.  Rest in His arms.  Find direction in His Word.  Recover strength in His grace.  Then carry on for His glory!
