lieve there s a hell and that you’re going to it?” That is most generally the situation in every case. It is a good thing to have a fear of the Lord and His Word. I believe that God will carry out His holy plan. In verse 125, we have the “I Am” of service, “I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.” Isn’t that lovely?

When victory comes out of seeming defeat, And the dark lowering clouds shine with rainbows replete, 'Tis then that I know — and the assurance is sweet— That you are praying for us.
