4. Sun and Shield “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory” (Psa. 84:11). - How seldom we ask counsel at the hands of the Lord! How often do we strive to bear our burdens ourselves, instead of casting them upon the Lord that He may sustain us! If some dark providence has beclouded thee, use thy God as a “sun” ; if some strong enemy has beset thee, find in Jehovah a “shield” ; for He is a sun and a shield to His people. —Charles Haddon Spurgeon. 5. He Is Coming Again “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and re ceive you unto myself” (John 14:3). Nothing could have been plainer than that. . .,. Jesus promised to come again. . . . it is part of the purpose of God for the ages that when man has demonstrated his utter inability to rule the world in righteousness and peace, when man is bankrupt, then Christ will come to take His rightful place as King of kings and Lord of lords.—A London Journalist. 6. Our Hope “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed” (1 Cor. 15:51). A shout! A trumpet note, A glorious Presence in the azure sky! A gasp, A thrill of joy, And we are with Him in the twinkling of an eye! ' A glance, An upward look, Caught up to be with Christ for ever more! The dead alive! The living glorified! Fulfilled are all His promises that came before. His face! His joy supreme! Our souls find rapture only at His feet. Blameless! Without a spot! We enter into heaven’s joy complete. Strike harps, Oh, sound His praise . . . We know Him as we never k n e w before. God’s love! God’s matchless grace!
l. A Sure Promise for 1942 t “The Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee” (Deut. 31:8). As we step, over the threshold of another New Year, how very comfort ing it should be to the Christian to remind himself that come what may on any day of the present year, all is known to our Father-God. . . . Therefore let us face the untrodden future with the utmost confidence, knowing that what our God has promised He is able to perform, even during the uncertain and eventful days before us.—S. Lavery. Nothing Old or New “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deut. 33:27). The very term and the idea of the New Year are of time and of our selves. With God there is nothing old and there is nothing new. With God there is no past and no future. With God there is only the ever present, only the eternal now. Past and fu ture, old and new, are human terms, and they suggest human measures of time. . . . But God is ever the same. His goodness and His love never change. And in that sameness let us rest, rejoicingly and in trust. - —Henry Clay Trumbull. Unafraid “In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength” (Isa. 30:15). Dear Lord, Thou hast new gifts for me this dawning year; The past held ample strength for each day’s need; And I can trust Thy love for grace and calm, for cheer To walk with confidence w h e r e Thou dost lead. I am aware the path will not be al ways plain, For life is no smooth highway stretching far; The past has taught me not to shrink from searing pain; To hold as precious every honest scar. For' only as I suffer can I ease the load Of others to whom pain and loss are new; And Thou didst walk a vastly harder road; Thy wounds were many, mine so very few. —Harriett L. George. 2. 3.
