With God At Dawn

An unseen hand guides the planets in their circuit of the heavens. A mysterious life pervades all nature, a life that sustains the unnumbered worlds throughout immensity; that lives in the insect atom which floats in the Summer breeze; that wings the flight of the swallow, and feeds the young Ravens which cry; that brings the bud to blossom, and the flower to fruit.

The promise of the holy Spirit is not limited to any age or to any race. Christ declared that the Divine influence of his Spirit was to be with his followers unto the end.

The Lord made a covenant with israel, that if they would obey his commandments, he would give them rain and due season, the land should yield her increase, and the trees of the field should yield their fruit. He promised their threshing floor should reach into the vintage and the vintage to The sowing and they should eat their bread to the full and dwell in their land safely. That little word if i...

This promise of blessing should have met fulfillment in large measure during the centuries following the return of the Israelites from the lands of their captivity.

God tests men, some in one way, and some in another. He tests some by bestowing upon them his rich bounties, and others by withholding his favors.

If God's blessing rests upon you because you surrender all to him, you will prosper. If you turn from God, he will turn from you. His hand can scatter faster than you can gather.

No cry from a soul in need, though it fail of utterance in words, will be unheeded. Those who consent to enter into covenant with God are not left to the power of Satan or the infirmity of their own nature.

Every soul is as fully known to Jesus as if he were the only one for whom to save your died. The distress of everyone touches his heart.

I'll come forth from their graves the same in stature as when they entered the tomb. Adam, who stands among the risen throng, is of lofty height and majestic form, in stature but little below the scent of god. We will grow up as calves of the stall.

Faithful Christian men and women should have an intense interest to bring the convicted soul to a correct knowledge of righteousness in Christ Jesus.

The Messiah was to be hid in God, and God was to be revealed in the character of his son. Without a knowledge of God, humanity would be eternally lost. Without Divine help men and women would sink lower and lower.

The true object of education is to restore the image of God in the soul.

It was our Lord and savior who created the human soul, with his capacity for knowing and for loving. And he is not in himself such as to leave the demands of the soul unsatisfied. We need to clasp a hand that is warm, to trust in a heart full of tenderness. Even so God has in his word revealed himself.

Do not be moved from steadfastness by jeers or scoffs of those whose minds are given to vanity. Follow your savior through evil as well as good report.

Nothing is apparently more helpless, yet really more invincible, than the soul that feels it's nothingness, and relies wholly on the merits of the savior.

Christ will never abandon the soul for whom he has died. The soul may leave him, and be overwhelmed with temptation; but Christ can never turn from one for whom he has paid The Ransom of his own life.

In Christ crucified we are offered power sufficient to convert the soul and divinely adapted to enable us to resist all temptations to evil. Faith in God is our armor, his word is our weapon of warfare.

The sinner is exposed to eternal death, until he finds a hiding place in Christ; and as loitering and carelessness might rob the fugitive of his only chance for life, so delays and indifference may prove the ruin of the soul, Satan the great adversary, is on the track of every transgressor of God's holy law, and he who is not sensible of his danger, and does not earnestly seek shelter in the etern...

In all the dealings of God with his people, there is, mingled with his love and mercy, the most striking evidence of his strict and impartial justice.

God can and will attend to your cry, and will let light shine into your heart and all around you; for through sincere prayer your soul is brought into connection with the mind of the infinite.

It is the work of the angels to come close to the tribe, the suffering, the tempted. They labor untiringly in behalf of those for whom Christ died.

God will bring his people near by close testing trials, showing them their weakness and inability, teaching them to lean upon him as their only help.

We have a Savior to whom to go, into whose pitying ear we may pour every complaint. We may leave all our cares and burdens with him, and then our labor will not seem hard or our trials severe.

Even after the saints are sealed with the seal of the living god, his elect will have trials individually. Personal afflictions will come; but the furnace is closely watched by an eye that will not suffer the gold to be consumed.

God is the refiner and purifier of souls; In The heat of The furnace the dross is separated forever from the true silver and gold of the Christian character. Jesus watches the test.
