God’s Mercy and Precious Promises
By Eliza CARPENTER
Bro. SMITH : I feel like giving in my testimony with those scattered ones who are keeping the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus. "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him." I can say as David did, My heart is fixed to serve the Lord. I will praise him with my whole heart. O how love I thy law; it is my meditation all the day. Yes, I can say, the Lord is good. Never did the promises of God taste more precious to me. O may the Lord increase faith in the hearts of his people. I believe that he is at work for them. Dear brethren and sisters, let us heed the exhortation of the apostle, and walk in love as Christ hath also loved us and hath given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor. From an unworthy sister expecting to overcome and stand with the Lamb on mount Zion.
