[January 12]
I have not hid Thy righteousness within My heart; I
have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation: I
have not concealed Thy loving-kindness and Thy truth
from the great congregation. Psalm 40:10
IF EVERYTHING else in life were taken from us,
and we were without a penny in the world, we would
still be rich toward God if we had the truth. And so
we all are needy in respect to this intelligence, this
knowledge. When we perceive this, how could we be
indifferent to the telling forth of the praises of him
who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous
light! So, then, God has so arranged this matter that
all those who believe and become children of God
may have a share with him in his great work. And
since we know these things, they become a test of our
loyalty and our love. And the Lord seeing or not
seeing this character in us will determine whether
or not we shall be associated in the honorable work
on the other side of the veil. Z'13-315 R5335:4
(Hymn 275)
