Chapter 50<br />

An Eternal Weight of Glory<br />

Again I say: Rejoice in <strong>the</strong> Lord. Rest in Him.<br />

You need His power, and this power you may<br />

have. Go <strong>for</strong>ward firmly, valiantly, courageously.<br />

You may err in judgment, but do not lose your hold<br />

on Jesus. He is wisdom, He is light, He is power.<br />

He is to you as a great Rock in a weary land. Rest<br />

under His shadow. You need wisdom, and Jesus<br />

will give it to you. Do not be unbelieving. The<br />

more you are jostled, misapprehended, misstated,<br />

misrepresented, <strong>the</strong> more evidence you have that<br />

you are doing a work <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Master, and <strong>the</strong> more<br />

closely you must cling to your Saviour. In all your<br />

difficulties be calm and undisturbed, patient and<br />

<strong>for</strong>bearing, not rendering evil <strong>for</strong> evil, but good <strong>for</strong><br />

evil. Look to <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> ladder. God is above it.<br />

His glory shines on every soul ascending<br />

heavenward. Jesus is this ladder. Climb up by Him,<br />

cling to Him, and erelong you will step off <strong>the</strong><br />

ladder into His everlasting kingdom.<br />
