to stone him a dozen times, yet he never wavered. When his people wanted to kill him, to fire him, he was true to his Lord. He was true to the people, too, because he prayed that the wrath of God would not fall upon them. David, of course, is the model singer. Everytime he got into trouble, he sang. Oftentimes he started out the Psalms with sorrow, grief and trouble. He always ended up, however, by sing ing praise to the Lord. He sang when the tears were flowing, he sang when people talked about him, and when they plotted against his life. God wants us to be like that, too. The song of faith will make the devil flee. YOUR W I L L IS I M P O R T A N T I f you do not have a w ill to ex press your desire, your estate (wheth er large or small) may be completely distributed by the courts in a way that you would never have done.

He is the One who went through death’s dark valley for us. Job is the model of patience and pi ety. He sat on a pile of ashes with a disease which is probably like that which we know today as elephantiasis. He was going to be perfected by sor rows and suffering. He wasn’t sitting there because he loved ashes, but he sought for relief from his pain and misery. Through all the false counsel of his three friends his faith was unshaken.

Abraham was the model of faith. He believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. When God told him to kill his only son Isaac, Abraham took the knife and went to Mt.
