After a week of trials and victories,
our gathering in God’s house of worship is a testimony of God’s
goodness toward us. Let us therefore continue to trust in God and
keep our eyes on our heavenly home as we face the new week. E.G.
White encourages us to, “Keep fast hold on Jesus. Look up to the
haven of rest and the home of the blest. Keep your soul in the love
of God whatever may betide, and you will grow spiritually strong.
Jesus is your loving Friend; He will take your hand and help you over
every hard and trying place. A grateful, trustful, habitual
recognition of God lies at the very foundation of all right conduct,
all true character. You must never lose confidence in God.”--Letter
22, {UL 276.5}
