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 fears.

"Walk worthy of the Lord." Col. 1. 10; Eph. 4. 1

1 Ye souls, redeemed with blood,
And called by grace divine,
Walk worthy of your God,
And let your conduct shine;
Keep Christ, your living Head, in view, In all you say, in all you do.

2 Has Jesus made you free?
Then you are free indeed;
Ye sons of liberty,
Ye chosen royal seed,
Walk worthy of your Lord, and view
Your glorious Head, in all you do.

3 Shall sons of heavenly birth
Their dignity debase?
Unite with sons of earth,
And take a servant's place?
The slaves to sin and Satan too?
Forget to keep their Lord in view?

4 Forbid it, mighty God!
Preserve us in thy fear;
Uphold with staff and rod,
And guard from every snare;
Teach us to walk with Christ in view, And honour him in all we do.

5 Increase our faith and love,
And make us watch and pray;
O fix our souls above,
Nor let us ever stray;
Dear Lord, do thou our strength renew, And lead us on with Christ in view.
