[Songs in the Night - April 2]
The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him. Deuteronomy 33:12
ONLY those who trust the Father as a little child
would trust its earthly parent can expect to make good
progress in the narrow way and have the courage and
confidence which it is the privilege of all who are his
to have, and without which we cannot have the perfect
peace and rest of heart promised.
"According to
your faith be it unto you," is the promise.
The desire
to draw nearer and nearer to God must be in our
heart else we shall fail to go on and attain our privilege
in Christ.
Such a desire is a manifestation of our
hunger and thirst after righteousness, which the Lord
expects to see before he makes good to such his
engagement that they shall be filled. Z'14-90 R5425:1 (Hymn 226)
