Day of Triumph, November 30
Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the
prophecy of this book.
Revelation 22:7
.
We are rapidly approaching the end of this earth’s history; and as we
realize that Jesus is indeed coming soon, we shall be aroused to labor as
never before.... We are to raise the banner on which is inscribed, “The
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Obedience to God’s law
is the great issue. Let it not be put out of sight....
The Lord desires to see the work of proclaiming the third angel’s
message carried forward with increasing efficiency. As He has worked in
all ages to give victories to His people, so in this age He longs to carry to a
triumphant fulfillment His purposes for His church. He bids His believing
saints to advance unitedly, going from strength to greater strength, from
faith to increased assurance and confidence in the truth and righteousness
of His cause.
We are to stand firm as a rock to the principles of the Word of God,
remembering that God is with us to give us strength to meet each new
experience. Let us ever maintain in our lives the principles of righteous-
ness.... We are to hold as very sacred the faith that has been substantiated
by the instruction and approval of the Spirit of God from our earliest
experience until the present time. We are to cherish as very precious the
work that the Lord has been carrying forward through His commandment-
keeping people, and which, through the power of His grace, will grow
stronger and more efficient as time advances. The enemy is seeking to
becloud the discernment of God’s people and to weaken their efficiency,
but if they will labor as the Spirit of God shall direct, He will open doors
of opportunity before them for the work of building up the old waste
places. Their experience will be one of constant growth, until the Lord
shall descend from heaven with power and great glory to set His seal of
final triumph upon His faithful ones.
The work that lies before us is one that will put to the stretch every
power of the human being.... Jesus will be with you; ... and He will be
your helper in every emergency.
