Excerpt from The People's Bible, Vol. 5: Discourses Upon Holy Scripture This is a human testimony to divine promise. - Every city appeared to be too strong, yet in the strength of the Almighty the most powei ful cities were as straw before fire - What is true of cities is true of temptations - There need not be one temptation that can distress the tried Christian. - If left to himself every temptation would be too much for him; but he is never left to himself; he is fighting God's battle; he is not at the war at his own charges, but at the cost of God, and under the security of heaven - When we reach the better land we Shall be enabled to repeat this testimony accox ding to the variety of the circumstances though which we have come - It will apply to difficulties of every kind, - personal, social, spiritual: the testimony will be that throughout the whole scheme of life he that was for us was more than all they that were against us. My soul, hope thou in God! Thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness. - deut. Iii. 24. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
