PROMISE FOR NOVEMBER 17TH

"Wait on the Lord: Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: Wait, I say on the Lord." Psalm 27:14

WE see that the Lord has declared that His people shall not be especially protected along earthly lines; and if in His wisdom it is best in any way to bruise us and put us to shame, as was done with our Master, we are to be of good courage, and He will strengthen our hearts, because we trust in Him, we have confidence in Him. We know that He is too wise to err, and that there must be a motive, a reason for the permission, whatever it may be. We know assuredly that the saintly ones are precious in the sight of the Lord--are as the apple of His eye; and thus we know that all things are working together for good to us. R. 5330, c.1,2, p.7.
