“The Lord shall be thy confidence” (Prov. 3:26²⁶For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. (Proverbs 3:26)).

Communion with God always gives confidence in His power. Do we know God’s presence as the practical home of our hearts? Oh what joy is there in this! Of one thing be sure: Coming to Him in the name of Jesus, you will find it to be the real, blessed, secure home of your hearts. We are not to be weary in well doing, for in due time we shall reap if we faint not. The principle of Matthew 20 is, “Whatsoever is right I will give you,” so he went and worked and trusted. Trusting Christ is a great matter. I should have very little to show for my work. I feel it sometimes—but if I only have His approval, how content I should be!
