"We are encouraged to go on ; we lack nothing, and I am very glad to have been led by the testimony of some brethren to trust in the Lord for everything, so that now it is only unto Him I make my appeals. I could mention repeated instances of the recent joy of receiving straight from the Lord's hand-instances in which I knew that none but the Lord could possibly have known the needs pressing upon me. It is a real thing to trust God alone."

Yes, and there is no liberty so sweet and so holy as that which flows from such confidence in God. And why should we not thus trust Him? He has given us just as plain assurances in His Word for our temporal needs as for our eternal ones ; and if there is in our life nothing which hinders communion, we may rest assured that not a word of His concerning our pathway will fall to the ground. This is not great faith that asks for great things, but simple child-like confidence that trusts every word of God. -Ed.
