Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing
escaped her doom. For a little space the Gift of heaven still waited
her acceptance. So, O heart, to you Christ is still speaking in accents
of love: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with Me.” “Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day
of salvation.”

You who are resting your hope on self are building on the sand.
But it is not yet too late to escape the impending ruin. Before the
tempest breaks, flee to the sure foundation. “Thus saith the Lord God,
Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious
cornerstone, of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.”
“Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am
God, and there is none else.” “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be
not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help
thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.”
“Ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.”
