If \\'e could look into David heart and ee the inner prompting when h penned the e word we would more full;T appreciate the preciou ne of uch a te timony. The weakne of the fle h human failure and hameful in were all a part of David' ex– perience; but hi heart wa turned toward God. The Lord alway reache out to the humble spirit and contrite heart. A realization of thi in our ex– perience bring forth the songs of prai e and hymn of thanksgiving. The apo tle Paul lived in the mid t of trial hard hip and bitter dis– appointment yet the note of rejoicing rang out in all of hi ministry. A care– ful reading of his epi tles makes clear that triumph and victory were his through the mercy of God and the living presence of Chri t. Repeatedly in hi encouragement to Timothy, Paul reminds the young pa tor of the mercy of God. If our vi ion i limited to the world ituation national problem church difficulties famity te tings or personal circumstance : the ong of praise and thank giving will oon be mothered with a sigh. With David and with Paul, and ,vith multitudes of the victorious saint , it is our privilege to lift our eyes and fix our heart up– on the One who alway 'lead u in the tram of triumph' ' (2 Cor. 2:14). '"O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for– ever'!. Submitted by Mr . Kenneth Masteller, Haddon Heights, N. J. Coming next month!
