Rest in the Sabbath and God’s Promises
By Sister N. J. Lucas
SISTER N. J. LUCAS writes from Maine: I thank God for what he has done for me, and is still doing. I thank the Lord that he has shown me where I was transgressing his holy law, and that I can say now in the language of the apostle, “I delight in the law of God after the inward man.” The Sabbath is a day of sweet rest to me. Its holy hours bring joy and peace. Peace fills my heart in anticipation of that glorious rest that remaineth for the children of God. Although cares of this world may weigh heavily upon us at times, and we sigh and mourn over sorrows of earth, yet we have but to look away to the heavenly sanctuary and there we find light and glory. Dear brethren and sisters, the morning will soon dawn, be of good cheer. Probationary time is closing. Deliverance is coming. The pearly gates of the New Jerusalem we soon shall see, and rest where living waters flow. Let us be strong in the Lord, and strive to live a life here that will adorn our profession, and when Jesus comes we can say, Lo! this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us.
