What Will It Profit A Man If

The Christian Must Know That The Season, Measure, And Continuance Of His Sufferings Are Appointed By Infinite Wisdom, And Designed To Work For His Everlasting Good; And That Grace And Strength Shall Be Afforded Him According To His Need.

If Two Angels Were To Receive At The Same Moment A Commission From God, One To Go Down And Rule Earth’s Grandest Empire, The Other To Go And Sweep The Streets Of Its Meanest Village, It Would Be A Matter Of Entire Indifference To Each Which Service Fell To His Lot, The Post Of Ruler Or The Post Of Scavenger; For The Joy Of The Angels Lies Only In Obedience To God’s Will, And With Equal Joy They Would Lift A Lazarus In His Rags To Abraham’s Bosom, Or Be A Chariot Of Fire To Carry An Elijah Home.

Though Troubles Assail And Dangers Affright, Though Friends Should All Fail And Foes All Unite; Yet One Thing Secures Us, Whatever Betide, The Scripture Assures Us, The Lord Will Provide.

So Dress And Conduct Yourself So That People Who Have Been In Your Company Will Not Recall What You Had On.

Faith Upholds A Christian Under All Trials, By Assuring Him That Every Painful Dispensation Is Under The Direction Of His Lord.
