"FEAR NOT"
Our Lord says to all of his
people, "Fear not; for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy
name; and thou art mine". My friends, we have no cause to fear, no matter
what our circumstances may be. If we belong to Christ, by the virtue of his
blood and the power of his grace, all is well. He will allow no harm to come to
his own elect. We will pass through the waters of sorrow, but he will be with
us. We will go through the rivers of affliction, but they will not drown us. We
will have to walk through the fiery furnace of trial, but the flame shall not
kindle upon us. He that is our God is the God of the waters, the rivers, and
the fire. He has made them for us; and he will see to it that in their ultimate
end, they will bring good to us.
