GENERAL SCHMIDT, one of Frederick the Great’s generals was a true believer in God and the Bible.
“Now tell me,” said Frederick to him one day, “why do you always go to the Bible?”
General Schmidt gave him this beautiful answer: “Because the Bible reveals to me a Father who numbers the very hairs of my head; and because the Bible reveals to me a Saviour who by His blood has put away every one of my sins; and also because the Bible shows to me a heaven where I am to spend an everlasting and blessed life with that Saviour.”
“O how I love Thy law! it is my meditation all the day.” “How sweet are Thy words unto my taste!” “Thy testimonies are wonderful.” “The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psa. 119:97, 103, 129, 130.
