Imagine instead you\u2019re singing these psalms where Jesus likely was singing them\u2014in the dim light of the upper room, mere moments from your violent capture and arrest, mere hours from trial, torture, and death.   To be able to sing a hymn of praise in that moment\u2014that\u2019s serenity. That\u2019s \u201cblessed assurance.\u201d That\u2019s realizing your Father is wise and good and that He can be implicitly trusted. It\u2019s refusing to factor your own feelings into your faith decisions. It\u2019s valuing His great redemptive plan above your own comfort and safety. And it\u2019s choosing to recognize traces of life, hope, glory, and joy in the same situations where most can see only fear, doubt, anxiety, and self-pity.\u201d -Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth Singing in the Shadow The quiet place : daily devotional readings Page 86       Matthew 26:39 ESV   39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, \u201cMy Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.\u201d       Psalm 75:8 ESV   For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup   with foaming wine, well mixed,   and he pours out from it,   and all the wicked of the earth   shall drain it down to the dregs.       Matthew 26:31-35 ESV   31 Then Jesus said to them, \u201cYou will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, \u2018I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.\u2019 32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.\u201d 33 Peter answered him, \u201cThough they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.\u201d 34 Jesus said to him, \u201cTruly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.\u201d 35 Peter said to him, \u201cEven if I must die with you, I will not deny you!\u201d And all the disciples said the same.       Isaiah 53:10a NASB95   But the Lord was pleased   To crush Him, putting Him to grief;       Acts 2:23 ESV   23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.       Luke 22:31-34 ESV   31 \u201cSimon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.\u201d 33 Peter said to him, \u201cLord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.\u201d 34 Jesus said, \u201cI tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.\u201d       2 Corinthians 12:8-10 NIV   8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, \u201cMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.\u201d Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ\u2019s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ\u2019s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.   ","author_name":"Central Christian Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.centralhome.org","html":"
