The Lord Will Do All
We can trust God to guide us, know us, love us, and do all He promises.
Mary Wilder Tileston preaches about the importance of trusting in the Lord for everlasting strength, emphasizing that God is always with us as our guide, cheering our spirits with His love and reviving us in times of darkness. She highlights how often we live our lives apart from God, toiling as if our destinies are solely in our hands, when in reality, God is present with us, knowing us deeply and loving us beyond our comprehension. Tileston challenges the belief that God's love and willingness to help us may be lacking, reminding us of His omnipotence, wisdom, and most importantly, His boundless love.

Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.
ISAIAH 26:4
COME, children, let us go!
Our Father is our guide;
And when the way grows steep and dark,
He journeys at our side.
Our spirits He would cheer,
The sunshine of His love
Revives and helps us as we rove,
Ah, blest our lot e'en here!
GERHARD TERSTEEGEN
WE are living out these lives of ours too much apart from God. We toil on dismally, as if the making or the marring of our destinies rested wholly with ourselves. It is not so. We are not the lonely, orphaned creatures we let ourselves suppose ourselves to be. The earth, rolling on its way through space, does not go unattended. The Maker and Controller of it is with it, and around it, and upon it. He is with us here and now. He knows us infinitely more thor-oughly than we know ourselves. He loves us better than we have ever dared to believe could be possible.
WILLIAM R. HUNTINGTON
Some of us believe that God is all mighty, and may do all; and that He is all wisdom, and can do all; but that He is all love, and will do all, there we fail.
