Don’t think or speak of failure
“The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.” Nahum 1:7
All the members of the church, as reapers in the great harvest field, are to be earnestly praying and diligently working. Not once should they think or speak of failure. They are not to rely on their human ability, but wholly on the divine agency. If you are in the way of the Lord, his promise is yours, “Thy righteousness shall go before thee.” We have no righteousness but that imparted by Christ. “And the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward.” Angels of God will go before you, preparing hearts to receive the divine message; and the promised power, which is the glory of the Lord, shall be your rearward. The Signs Of The Times March 7, 1892, par. 13
