HOW many have learned to hold still and wait upon Him? Some may be disappointed because their prayer was not answered immediately. They think the work should be done instantly. But this does not give occasion for us to become impatient, anxious or fretful. Only wait and see the salvation of the Lord. He is interested in His children, He is watching over us. His everlasting arms are beneath us. Neither can the enemy touch us unless He allows it. A refuge and a fortress is our God.
(A day or two ago, the following message was so much laid on my heart that I wrote it down at once, intending to send it out in my letter this month. The proof of this month’s MESSAGE was sent me to correct while I was away from home—and it was too short by over a page. I had nothing with me to fill the space, but the words I had written, so I am inserting them here, because it seems that God must intend them for a message to someone whom perhaps the letter might not reach. ―ED.)
