A Living Lord

“The Lord liveth,” in Him will I trust. God is my strength. He hath
given me the shield of salvation. His gentleness hath made me great.
Compassed about by troubles and temptations He delivers me. The last
enemy of man has been conquered by Him. Death is vanquished by the Son
of God.

He makes with us an everlasting covenant. David says: “He delivered me
from my strong enemy.” How many of us have a strong enemy? An enemy
difficult to subdue? One we cannot subdue without help from on high?

“Come and let us return unto the Lord. He will revive us and raise us
up. We shall live in His sight.”

“The wise shall understand these things. The ways of the Lord are right
and the just shall walk in them.”

“Seek good and not evil that ye may live.” Here we have a warning and a
command, a threat and a promise.

Godliness is profitable unto all, having promise of the life that now
is, and of that which is to come.

To-day, if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.”
