[Songs in the Night - July 31]
Thy saints shall bless Thee.
They shall speak of the glory of Thy kingdom, and talk of Thy power; to make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Psalm 145:10-12
THE prophet intimates that all the saints shall have
the privilege of thus declaring the kingdom, and of
thus honoring the name of our God; and this seems to
be literally fulfilled today, for the Lord seems to be
bringing to the attention of all his saints (his consecrated
people everywhere) the present truth; to the
intent that they may have its light upon their pathway,
making manifest unto them the glorious character of
our God, through a knowledge of his great plan of the
ages.
Moreover, the Lord seems to be putting it within
the power of every one of his saints to thus glorify
his name and to speak forth the truth to others.
To
some he has granted the talent of oratory and opportunity
to use it and to speak forth his praises in this
way; to others he has granted a talent for private conversation,
that they may thus tell of his kingdom and
speak of his glorious majesty and make known his
plans to such as have hearing ears.
To others still he
has given the privilege of declaring his message
through the circulation of the printed page; and to
some he seems to have given opportunities for using
all of these various methods of singing the song of Moses
and the Lamb.
And we may rest assured that none can
be of the company of the Lord's saints in this time, and
know of his goodness and his wonderful honor and
majesty, and not have a desire to tell the good tidings
of great joy to all who have an ear to hear; and those
who are most earnest, most zealous in proclaiming the
message are sure to have the most blessing in their
own hearts, and in their own experiences, and to grow
the most in grace, in knowledge, and in love. Z'00-313 R2714:6 (Hymn 118)
