"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."
"Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken." (Proverbs 3:25-26)
When God is abroad in judgments, He would not have His people alarmed. He has not come forth to harm but to defend the righteous.
He would have them manifest courage. We who enjoy the presence of God ought to display
presence of mind. Since the Lord Himself may suddenly come, we ought not to be surprised at
anything sudden. Serenity under the rush and roar of unexpected evils is a precious gift of
divine love.
The Lord would have His chosen display discrimination so that they may see that the
desolation of the wicked is not a real calamity to the universe. Sin alone is evil; the
punishment which follows thereupon is as a preserving salt to keep society from putrefying. We should be far more shocked at the sin which deserves hell than at the hell which comes out of sin.
So, too, should the Lord's people exhibit great quietness of spirit. Satan and his serpent
seed are full of all subtlety; but those who walk with God shall not be taken in their deceitful snares. Go on, believer in Jesus, and let the Lord be thy confidence.
