[Manna - June 4]
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:7
IT is your faith that is on trial now.
In the calmer
days, when the sun of favor shone brightly upon you,
you were quietly laying the foundation of a knowledge
of the Truth, and rearing the superstructure of Christian
character.
Now you are in the furnace to be
proved: summon therefore all your courage; fortify
your patience; nerve yourself to endurance; hold fast
to your hope; call to mind the promises, they are still
yours; and "cast not away your confidence, which hath
great recompense of reward."
"In quietness and confidence
shall be your strength."
"Rest in the Lord,
and wait patiently for Him," and faith has gained her
victory. Z.'95-135 R1823:4
