"A Wonderful Treasury for the People of God Whose Treasure Is In Heaven - Devotional and Practical Observations On Select Passages of Scripture for Every Day of The Year!"
"Two easy ways to follow the Faith's Checkbook Devotions to completion: Follow the small calendar dates on each page, or follow the other set of numerals ("001" to "366") inserted below calendar date. On the latter method you can start at any date and follow numerically to the end."
"For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." (Psalm 16:10)
This word has its proper fulfillment in the Lord Jesus; but it applies also, with a variation,
to all who are in Him. Our soul shall not be left in the separate state, and our body, though it
see corruption, shall rise again. The general meaning, rather than the specific application, is
that to which we would call our readers' thoughts at this particular time.
We may descend in spirit very low till we seem to be plunged in the abyss of hell; but we
shall not be left there. We may appear to be at death's door in heart, and soul, and
consciousness; but we cannot remain there. Our inward death as to joy and hope may proceed very
far; but it cannot run on to its full consequences, so as to reach the utter corruption of black
despair, We may go very low, but not lower than the Lord permits; we may stay in the lowest
dungeon of doubt for a while, but we shall not perish there. The star of hope is still in the
sky when the night is blackest. The Lord will not forget us and hand us over to the enemy. Let
us rest in hope, We have to deal with One whose mercy endureth forever. Surely, out of death,
and darkness, and despair we shall yet arise to life, light, and liberty.
