The Church will not Fall

Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. Matthew 16:18.

Those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus will feel the ire
of the dragon and his hosts. Satan numbers the world as his subjects, he has gained
control of the apostate churches; but here is a little company that are resisting his
supremacy. If he could blot them from the earth, his triumph would be complete.

As he influenced the heathen nations to destroy Israel, so in the near future he will
stir up the wicked powers of earth to destroy the people of God.... Their only hope
is in the mercy of God; their only defense will be prayer.

The trying experiences that came to God’s people in the days of Esther were
not peculiar to that age alone. The revelator, looking down the ages to the close of
time, has declared, “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 12:17. Some who today are living on the
earth will see these words fulfilled.

The wrath of Satan increases as his time grows short, and his work of deceit and
destruction will reach its culmination in the time of trouble.

Satan will work his miracles to deceive; he will set up his power as supreme.
The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the
sinners in Zion will be sifted out—the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This
is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have
been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will
be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their
mouths.

God declares that even a mother may forget her child, “yet will I not forget
thee.” ... God thinks of His children with the tenderest solicitude and keeps a book
of remembrance before Him, that He may never forget the children of His care.

Happy Preparation Day Family!!

“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love” (John 15:10). This is the yoke which Christ invites us to wear—the yoke of obedience. Can we not say, “Lord, I take Thee at Thy word; I receive Thy promise. I come to Thee because I need Thee as a personal Saviour. ~~THAT I MAY KNOW HIM, PAGE 293~~

Hymn Of The Day......

"The King Of Love My Shepherd Is"

Verse 1
The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His,
And He is mine forever.

Verse 2
Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And, where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.

Verse 3
Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me,
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And home rejoicing brought me.

Verse 4
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy Cross before to guide me.

Verse 5
Thou spread’st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And oh, what transport of delight
From Thy pure chalice floweth!

Verse 6
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever.

HYMN OF THE DAY................!

"The Wonder of It All "

Verse 1
There's the wonder of sunset at evening,
The wonder as sunrise I see;
But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
Is the wonder that God loves me.

Refrain
O, the wonder of it all! The wonder of it all!
Just to think that God loves me.
O, the wonder of it all! The wonder of it all!
Just to think that God loves me

.
Verse 2
There's the wonder of springtime and harvest,
The sky, the stars, the sun;
But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
Is a wonder that's only begun.
