PROMISE FOR MAY 29TH

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5

Our highest interests,... are matters of our Father's constant care. If we keep very near to the LORD we are protected from the power of the fallen angels.... Only a lack of faithfulness would subject us to their power to any extent so far as our New Creature interests are are concerned. They can neither harm our bodies in any way nor cause any violence to us, unless the LORD permits it for our highest good--perhaps for our deliverance and exaltation, as in the case of our Master.... When ... Pilate ... said to our Lord on the night of his arrest and trial, "Knowest thou that I have the power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?" Jesus answered: "Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above." So it is with all the footstep followers of the Master. God's grace will be sufficient. Man is powerless to harm a hair of our heads, unless it is permitted of our Father in heaven for His glory and our own highest welfare. R. 5540, c.1, p.2, and c.2, p.3.
