*Songs in the night Nov 14* π
*πBlessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed*. Joh 20:29
ππΌ NOW, while it is dark,
before the Sun of Righteousness has arisen with healing in his beams,
ππΌ to scatter all the _*doubts and fears and hindrances,*_
π« the Lord puts a premium upon faith,
ππΌ and only those who _*can and do exercise*_ it may and do have certain
✨ rewards,
✨ privileges,
✨ opportunities, and
✨ blessings.
ππΌ Of the Gospel-age little flock it is written,
we _*"walk by faith and not by sight."*_
We endure, _*"as seeing him who is invisible";*_
we run ππ»♀️for _*a crown and a throne*_ which we may see only with the eye of faith;
we _*obey the voice of him*_ who speaketh from heaven,
ππΌ but whose voice now is the still small voice,
which _*only the few who exercise faith*_ can hear, appreciate, and understand.
ππΌ By and by the time will come when this voice shall _*shake the earth*_
and cause the knowledge of the Lord to fill the whole earth.
ππΌ _*Obedience*_ then will be proper and bring a blessing;
ππΌ but _*obedience now*_,
even unto sacrifice of earthly interests in following the footsteps of him who set us an example,
_*brings the greater blessings*_
-- the blessings which pertain
π not only to the life which now is,
π but also to that which is to come
-- _*the blessings of glory, honor, and immortality*_.
`Z'01-141` (Hymn 46)
