Unstaggering Trustfulness

"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed, trusting in the
LORD" (Psalm 112:7).

Suspense is dreadful. When we have no news from home, we are apt to grow
anxious, and we cannot be persuaded that "no news is good news." Faith is the
cure for this condition of sadness; the LORD by His Spirit settles the mind in
holy serenity, and all fear is gone as to the future as well as the present.

The fixedness of heart spoken of by the psalmist is to be diligently sought
after. It is not believing this or that promise of the LORD, but the general
condition of unstaggering trustfulness in our God, the confidence which we have
in Him that He will neither do us ill Himself nor suffer anyone else to harm
us. This constant confidence meets the unknown as well as the known of life.
Let the morrow be what it may, our God is the God of tomorrow. Whatever events
may have happened, which to us are unknown, our Jehovah is God of the unknown
as well as of the known. We are determined to trust the LORD, come what may. If
the very worst should happen, our God is still the greatest and best. Therefore
will we not fear though the postman's knock should startle us or a telegram
wake us at midnight. The LORD liveth, and what can His children fear?

847 S.M. J. HART
The Day of Judgement. 2 Cor. 5. 10; Mark. 13. 33 1 Behold! with awful pomp
The Judge prepares to come;
The archangel sounds the dreadful trump, And wakes the general doom.

2 Nature in wild amaze,
Her dissolution mourns;
Blushes of blood the moon deface;
The sun to darkness turns.

3 The living look with dread;
The frighted dead arise,
Start from the monumental bed,
And lift their ghastly eyes.

4 Horrors all hearts appal;
They quake, they shriek, they cry;
Bid rocks and mountains on them fall, But rocks and mountains fly.

5 Great God, in whom we live,
Prepare us for that day;
Help us in Jesus to believe,
To watch, and wait, and pray.
