“The promise of harvest gives joy to the earth. Rob not your Lord of the sheaves which he deserves to gather from your heart and life; but believe his Word, rest upon it, and rejoice in it, realizing that his words of promise are meant to bring you great joy.”

And the coward flesh would start,
Let thy promise and thy love,
Cheer and animate my heart.

you to Jesus Christ for satisfaction of God’s justice.
