Proverbs 5
Reread Proverbs 5:21
Read Hebrews 12:1
When the powers of hell
prevail (are more powerful)
O’er (over) our
weakness and unfitness,
Could we lift the fleshly
veil,
Could we for a
moment witness
Those unnumbered hosts that
stand
Calm and bright on either
hand;
Oh, what joyful hope would
cheer,
Oh, what faith
serene (calm, peaceful) would guide us!
Great may be the danger near.
Greater are the
friends beside us.
(Remember, we have angles all
around us).
Anon.
We are compassed about by a
cloud of witnesses, whose hearts throb in sympathy with every effort and
struggle, and who thrill with joy at every success. (We have those who
sympathize with our struggles and rejoice with our successes). How should this
thought check and rebuke every worldly feeling and unworthy purpose, and
enshrine (enclose) us, in the midst of a forgetful and unspiritual world, with
an atmosphere of heavenly peace! They have overcome-have risen- are crowned,
glorified; but still they remain to us, our assistants, our comforters, and in
every hour of darkness their voice speaks to us: ‘So we grieved, so we
struggled, so we fainted, so we doubted; but we have overcome, we have
obtained, we have seen, we have found,- and in our victory behold the certainty
of thy own.’ (In the midst of earthly struggles, remember those who have gone
before you. They overcame trials and are cheering you on to do the same).
