[Songs in the Night - July 10]
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8
WE ARE invited to cast all our cares upon the Lord,
knowing that he careth for us.
And we have the encouraging
assurance in the midst of present trials that
we shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away,
if in stedfast sobriety and humility we work out our
salvation with fear and trembling, having been first
redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, and thus
through faith having gained the privilege of working
it out.
And we are comforted in the midst of trials
with the blessed assurance that while God resisteth the
proud, and they also resist him, he giveth grace to the
humble. Z'88-Aug., p.2 R1054:1 (Hymn 65)
