'Voices From The Past' Vol. 1 — August 30

God is the mighty King of all the earth, the high and lofty one. He is so immensely great in himself, that the heavens cannot contain him. He made heaven and earth, and can unmake them. With his breath he can crush us to dust and unpin the world. The mountains quake before him. He does whatever he wills, and weighs the mountains in the scales. Who in the heavens can be compared with the Lord? He has the highest throne, the richest crown, and the largest dominion. All the angels serve him, and earthly kings rule by his authority. If we belong to him, we are on the winning side, for he can destroy his adversaries with ease, pull down their pride and restrain their malice. Let us trust this King. Trust him with your soul for you cannot put this jewel in safer hands. He can make bare his holy arm. If means fail, he is never at a loss; there are no impossibilities with him; he can make dry bones live. He has the power of life and death in his hand and can cast body and soul into hell. There is great comfort to those who are the subjects of the King of heaven. He puts forth all his royal power for their comfort. He will plead their cause. He will protect his people and sets an invisible guard about them. He is a wall of fire around them, a wall of defence. When it is good for his people, he will raise up deliverance for them. He can save by any means. The fish's belly was a ship that sailed Jonah safe to shore. God will never lack in ways to save his people. Rather than fail, God will use enemies to do his work. He delivers his people from temporal danger, and from spiritual danger, sin, and from hell. Dare to own God in the worst of times. He is King of kings, and able to reward his servants. We may be losers for him, but we shall never be losers by him.
