Torch, Summer 1986

14 I hear the Savior say Thy strength indeed is small . Child of weakness, watch and pray Find in me thine all in all . *** Not to the strong is the battle Not to the swift is the race, But to the true and the faithful Victory is promised , through grace . *** Days of darkness still come o ' er me Shadowed paths I often tread, But the Savior still is with me By his hand I'm safely led. Singing worked for Paul and Silas as they were locked in prison. It still works today. Acts 16:25 ; Psalm 95 :1-3 . 5. If possible, get out of the fast lane. Take a breather; be still; stand alone beside a stream; gaze at the beauty of a flower; remember to meditate upon the Word ofGod. It is a truism that there is no exemption from discour– agement for those who are at the top. However, whether you are at the top, the bottom, or somewhere in between, there is " ... grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16) . Dr. Wendell W .
