0:01:25 - 0:01:43who put their trust in Him from the power of all beings that might seek their destruction. You should trust God because of His justice. He will deal with them upon the principles of righteousness and equity and a just reward will be granted unto them for all their afflictions and sufferings, for the
0:01:42 - 0:02:00truth's sake. You should trust God because of his judgment.

0:00:00 - 0:02:35Realizing that truth is an attribute of the deity. The mind is led to rejoice amid all its trials and temptations in hope of that glory, which is to be brought at the revelation of Jesus Christ. And in view of that crown, which is to be placed upon the heads of the saints in the day when the Lord shall
0:02:35 - 0:02:54distribute rewards unto them and in prospect of that eternal weight of glory which the Lord has promised to bestow upon them when he shall bring them into the midst of his throne, to dwell in his presence eternally, you should trust God.
