The care of God is over the weakest of His children. No act of cruelty or oppression toward them is unmarked by Heaven. Over all who love and fear Him, His hand extends as a shield.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 300.
Because of the increasing power of Satan’s temptations, the times in which we live are full of peril for the children of God, and we need to learn constantly of the great Teacher, that we may take every step in surety and righteousness.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 322.
Those who walk humbly before God, distrustful of their own wisdom, will realize their danger, and will know God’s keeping care.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 324.
The great God, whose glory shines from the heavens, and whose divine hand upholds millions of worlds, is our Father. We have only to love Him, trust Him, as little children in faith and confidence, and He will accept us as His sons and daughters, and we shall be heirs to all the inexpressible glory of the eternal world. All the meek will He guide in judgment, the meek will He teach His way. If we will walk in obedience to His will, learning cheerfully and diligently the lessons of His providence, by and by He will say, Child, come home to the heavenly mansions I have prepared for you.—Testimonies for the Church 4:653. RRe 22
Our fondest hopes are often blighted here. Our loved ones are torn from us by death. We close their eyes and habit them for the tomb, and lay them away from our sight. But hope bears our spirits up. We are not parted forever, but shall meet the loved ones who sleep in Jesus. They shall come again from the land of the enemy. The Life-giver is coming. Myriads of holy angels escort Him on His way. He bursts the bands of death, breaks the fetters of the tomb, the precious captives come forth in health and immortal beauty. Hvn 45
The Lord is my strength
and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my
heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him. Psalm 28:7. KJV
