JOB 24:13 Thy people shall be willing in the day of Thy power. PSALMS 110:3 SEE, in Thy hands I lay them all-- My will that fails, my feet that fall; My heart that wearies everywhere, Yet finds Thy yoke too hard to bear. KATHARINE T. HINKSON THE way may at times seem dark, but light will arise, if thou trust in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him. That light may sometimes show hard things to be required, but do not be distressed if thy heart should rebel; bring thy unwillingness and disobedience to Him, in the faith that He will give thee power to overcome, for He cannot fail. "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world," so keep close to Him, and the victory will be won. But do not, I beseech thee, neglect anything that is required, for disobedience brings darkness; and do not reason or delay, but simply follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit, and He will guide thee into all peace.
