SYSTEMATIC BIBLE STUDY

THOSE who followed the reading suggested for last week, among other most helpful promises, found this one: "What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee." Ps. 56:3. Who has not been tortured with fear? And in the midst of those tortures, those who have learned to trust in God have found perfect freedom from every such desolating torment. And who has not been made fearful because of some threatened danger from his fellow men? And under such circumstances, with what assurance come promises like this one: "In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me." Ps. 56:11. It is only when we are reading the Bible through by course that we are sure of finding all these "exceeding great and precious promises." We are to be fortified by "every word" that proceeds out of the mouth of God. And we can not overemphasize the fact that an important part of our Bible study is, to read carefully again and again every portion of the Sacred Scriptures.
SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK ENDING MARCH 7 Exodus 19-26 Psalms 60-66 John 1-8
Read a chapter in each of these books on weekdays, and on the Sabbath read two chapters in Exodus and two in John.
The reading in Exodus this week gives the account of that most wonderful event in human history, the giving of the law of Ten Commandments upon Mount Sinai. "The Lord's Day the Test of the Ages," by Wilcox, and "The History of the Sabbath," by Conradi, which were suggested as helps last week, will be valuable also in the understanding of the portion of the book of Exodus that we are to read this week. The chapter in "Patriarchs and Prophets" on the giving of the law will be found not only interesting but inspiring.
In the reading of the first part of the book of John, chapter 14 of "The Desire of Ages," as well as other portions of this valuable book, will be very helpful.
