Rest We Need. from page 3insist on living as if your happiness depends upon whatyou do and how much you play, then God is just going toabandon you finally to your foolish delusions. It is boundto happen.If you are looking for the causes of modern decayand degeneracy, don't look just at the world capitals—atthe big places where big people make big decisions. Lookinto the law of God. Look at the fourth commandment.One of the reasons there is so little tranquility and peacetoday is that man has failed to put his trust in God. Hetrusts himself alone and shows that by refusing to keepGod's day holy. That is one of the reasons your life is soshaky and disappointing, too. You are living at the samehectic pace seven days a week, and desecrating the day ofrest God has commanded you to keep.God comes to you now in the Lord Jesus Christ, Hisonly begotten Son. Don't be so frantic about making aliving and having fun. Don't worry about the day of death.Put your trust in Jesus. He will take care of you and makeyour life significant and your death a moment of victory.Express your trust in the Lord by making every Sabbath aday of rest, devoted to your Savior. The rewards Godgives those who honor Him are unimaginably great.Joy of a Broken Heart. from page 5The gloom and misery of our world is reflected inmuch of the popular music of our day, but in a few this ischanging. One of the top songs, as these words, are beingwritten, is "Put Your Hand in the Hand of the Man fromGalilee." That song has more hope. Christ makes thedifference.There are easier roads to follow, than the road of abroken heart, but every other road is a dead end. The RichYoung Ruler thought he knew a better road, but thetestimony concerning him is "He went away sorrowful.. . ."If you want a really happy life, there is only one way:The way of the Broken Heart. Your heart must feel deeplythe injury that you have done to God, and then bring that"hurt" to Christ for healing. You can know that joy today.Just "Put your hand in the hand of the Man from Galilee."A Wonderful Promise. from page 7their lonely and dangerous journey, cheering and encouragingthem. This Divine Presence is our highest inspirationtoday also. The highest inspiration of theChristian comes from our Divine Lord, who is ever presentin our heart by His Holy Spirit—guiding, comforting, inspiringand driving away all fear.IV. It is a Sufficient Presence that is promised. Weare, at best, frail, sinful creatures. Our need is very great,but there is in Christ a sufficiency to meet all our need."My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is madeperfect in weakness." "My God shall supply all your needaccording to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." "Ye arecomplete in Him."V. Finally, the presence promised in our text is aContinual Presence. "I will never leave thee." Otherfriends do leave us. Some may even forsake us when theycould be with us. Even the most faithful of earthly friendscan't always be with us. The time comes when they have toleave us or we have to leave them. Children havesometimes got to leave their parents to pursue theireducation and career. The time comes when parents haveto leave their children. But to all His believing people theLord says: "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." Hemay sometimes in His sovereign love and grace withdrawHis presence from us for a time, but it is only in order thatour desires after Him may be increased and that we mayeventually be drawn nearer to Him. Even when we cometo the valley of the shadow of death, we are still assuredof His Presence, We can sing:"Yea though I walk in death's dark vale,Yet will I fear none illFor thou art with me, and thy rodAnd staff, me comfort still."Death itself can't separate us from Him. It meansgoing to be forever with the Lord.All of us, at some time or other, have known or willknow the deepest sorrows that human heart can know. Atsuch times and in such experiences this promise exercisesits healing influence. We shall all need the solace of thispromise one day even if we are not conscious of our needof it at the present moment.Let us then think of it now that we may have thesolace of it when we need it most. May we by faith claimthe promised Presence. May we be able to say:"Nevertheless continually,O Lord, I am with thee:Thou dost me hold by my right hand and stillupholdest me.Thou, with thy counsel, while I live, wilt me conductand guide;And to thy glory afterward receive me to abide."Reformed Presbyterian WitnessCOOL, COLORFUL COLORADOINVITES YOU TO THE ROCKIES!CO VENANT HEIGHTS FA MIL Y CONFERENCEJuly 12-18,1971Under the auspices of Midwest PresbyterySPEAKERSJim Pennington, Robert McFarlandJ.
