Faith That Takes No Denial
Sister A. G. Hovey writes from Minnesota: “It is not yet a year since my husband and myself commenced to keep the Sabbath. Bro. Steward came to the village where we lived, White Creek, Wis., to proclaim the third angel’s message. By his proclamation I saw wherein we had been breaking God’s commandments. I felt ready to take my feet from trampling upon his holy Sabbath, and to call it a delight. We removed to Minnesota last spring. We have heard no preaching since that of Bro. S., until Bro. Ingraham came here with the tent, which has been a great help to us and many others in this place. I feel to praise the Lord for what he has done for me in showing me the truth as it is in his sacred book. Let me now speak of some of my feelings. At times when I have thought I could take hold of God’s promises, some evil suggestion would come in, and tell me they were not for me, and throw temptations in my way. Thus I struggled on in prayer to God for some way that I might overcome these feelings, but found no real relief until I read sister Stewart’s experience. I could then see where I stumbled. I felt like giving up all to the Lord, everything, seen or unseen, only give me that faith that takes no denial. My prayer is answered, and I feel like casting all on the altar, and hope that I may ever be ready to meet the Lord.”
