DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Ker preaches about seeking deliverance from doubt by engaging in
calm, reverential inquiry into God's nature and His Word, through humble
prayer to the Father of lights, by holding onto the nearest truth and
acting upon it, by striving to be genuine and true, and by constantly
returning to the core truths of God's character as just, loving, and
merciful. He emphasizes that for the upright, light arises in darkness,
and encourages a focus on the assured hope of God's ultimate justice and
mercy.

"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness..." (Ps. 112:4).

How shall we seek deliverance [from doubt]?

By calm, reverential inquiry in the depths of the nature God has given
us, and of that Word which professes to be the revelation of it and of
Him--by humble, hopeful prayer to the Father of lights, whose will
cannot be that any soul He has made should walk in darkness; by holding
to the nearest, clearest truth, whatever it may be, and acting upon it,
assured that every truth leads up; by an effort to be true ourselves and
thoroughly genuine,--"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the
darkness;" and if we think we have found great truths, but are troubled
with difficulties on the edges, then by a constant recurrence to the
center and soul of things, where we feel we can repose,--the great
assured character of God as a God of justice, love, and mercy, who will
bring all right, and enable the soul to realise that prophecy which
shall yet come to the world, "But there the glorious Lord will be unto
us a place of broad rivers and streams."
