[Songs in the Night - May 6]
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. Psalm 116:7
IN ORDER to enjoy this perfect peace we must
have unswerving trust in our Father's love and abiding
faithfulness.
As we look out into the starry heavens
we see a manifestation of God's mighty power and
majesty, but our hearts and minds would not be stayed
and sustained by this; we might receive gifts from him,
but without knowledge of his abiding faithfulness we
would not know whether these might be only traps for
our injury from the Adversary.
But if we have this
proper foundation for faith, if we learn to know our
Father through his Word (the only way we can know
him), we come to have confidence in him. Z'14-103 R5432:5 (Hymn 107)
