I believe that. Even when doubts claw at my heart.

Our God hath not forsaken us. —Ezra 9:9.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. —If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

The Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

The Lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people. —Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. —Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

Shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.

I Pet. 4:12. -Heb. 12:7,8. Deut. 13:3. I Sam. 12:22. -Isa. 49:15. -Psa. 146:5. Luke 18:7,8.

I wait on Him.

But what all is that supposed to include? I don’t know. I just don’t know.

Well, the above selection of verses comes from this morning’s portion of Daily Light on the Daily Path.

And here’s something I made special just this morning (after almost eleven months of not doing these):

[The Scriptures say in Deuteronomy 13:3 -- The Lord your God proveth you]
from Deuteronomy 13:3

As is my practice, last night before going to bed, I read the evening selection from Daily Light on the Daily Path:

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord. —PSA. 121:1,2.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us. —Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. —Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. —Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Psa. 125:2. Psa. 123:1,2. -Psa. 63:7. II Chr. 20:12. -Psa. 25:15. -Psa. 124:8.

I should clarify that I turn to the Scriptures morning and evening, not because I am so holy and perfect, but because I am so needy in spirit (and other ways).
