DAY 107 Read 1 Samuel 23; Psalm 11; 31; 54; and 61; 1 Samuel 24; Psalm 142 and 143.
Today's reading: One amazing characteristic of David was his ability to maintain his trust in the Lord despite all the trouble that dogged his steps.
Memory gem: "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord" (Psalm 31:24).
Thought for today:
"Move forward courageously, assured that the Lord will be with those who love and serve Him. He will work in behalf of His covenant-keeping people. He will not suffer them to become a reproach. He will purify all who yield themselves to Him, and will make them a praise in the earth. Nothing in this world is so dear to God as His church. He will work with mighty power through humble, faithful men....
"Difficulties will arise that will try your faith and patience. Face them bravely. Look on the bright side. If the work is hindered, be sure that it is not your fault, and then go forward, rejoicing in the Lord. Heaven is full of joy. It resounds with the praises of Him who made so wonderful a sacrifice for the redemption of the human race. Should not the church on earth be full of praise? Should not Christians publish throughout the world the joy of serving Christ? Those who in heaven join with the angelic choir in their anthem of praise must learn on earth the song of heaven, the keynote of which is thanksgiving.
"Never let your courage fail. Never talk unbelief because appearances are against you. As you work for the Master you will feel pressure for want of means, but the Lord will hear and answer your petitions for help."--Testimonies, vol. 7, pp. 242-244.
