Suffering is an age-old question that has puzzled the

people of God since time began. After all, if our God

is both a loving and an all-powerful being, why does He

allow such pain and suffering in the world?

At the age of eighty-two, legendary Bible scholar Dr.

Herbert Lockyer took on this question. As he watched

his wife of sixty-six years slowly fade from loving spouse

to an incapacitated person who needed his constant care,

it caused him to look upon her afflicted, helpless form,

and ask, O my God, why?

In this outstanding work, Lockyer does not present ideas

on how to cope with suffering but teaches how to pass

through it, removing self-pity and using personal trials as

a springboard to help others. In the midst of his darkest

hour, Lockyer examines the problem of human suffering

in light of God's love and His eternal plan.

The heavenly meditator has the happiest life in the world, and the most enriching commerce with the celestial Indies, from whence he returns laden with an unseen store of immortal joy, and spiritual consolation. As he continues to meditate on the great things of God, such amazing plenitudes are displayed before his eye sufficient subjects for meditation through eternity itself. Meditation returns with a good account of the good land and produces refreshing grapes pulled from the true VINE. Here the weary soul retires to rest in the bosom of the promise, in the love of God and drinks at the river before the throne as waters that flow away. O the high estate of the sons of God in meditation They walk in the fields of glory, associate with the angels of light, and hold communion with God himself Thus having been in the mount with God, their soul is beautified; thus, their face shines, and their mind seems as if in heaven, nobly opposing the base practices of the men of the world.
