[Songs in the Night - October 8]
Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your hearts: for consider how great things he hath done for you. I Samuel 12:24
AS A help to our flagging zeal, we should continually
remind ourselves of the Lord's great blessings
to us.
As we learn to appreciate the goodness of the
Lord, if rightly disposed at all, the influence will be to
strengthen us and to make us more and more loyal
to him.
Failing to seek with our whole heart the
Lord's service after we have become his people and
entered into covenant relationship with him, receiving
of his favors and blessings in this life, and also, by
promise, in the life to come, would mean wickedness
which, persevered in, will surely bring destruction.
Faithfulness to God should be the keynote of all our
desires. Z'03-218 R3224:4 (Hymn 243)
