Hymn 115:  Making Trial of Truth

·     David had been publicly anointed by Samuel to be the next King of Israel

·     Saul, through jealously, was chasing David with the intent of killing him so that these promises would not be fulfilled

·     David maintained his faith in God and His Plan even though things seemed completely out of order!

·     Other Bible characters also demonstrated trusting in God for His deliverance in what seemed to be unbeatable odds

·     Today we have the promises about Jesus Christ’s return and establishment of His Kingdom upon the Earth – do we TRUST in those promises or do we doubt and think they are an unrealistic dream?

·     Let us trust in God to protect us from the power of Satan (the evils in this world), and to preserve us in spirit and soul and body to enter into His coming Kingdom.

·     Hymn 83:  Something Good and Unexpected!
