Valiant for Truth

The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. (Daniel 11:32)

"The Lord is a man of war, Jehovah is his name."  Those who enlist under His banner shall have a Commander who will train them for the conflict and give them both vigor and valor.  The times of which Daniel wrote were of the very worst kind, and then it was promised that the people of God would come out in their best colors: they would be strong and stout to confront the powerful adversary.

Oh, that we may know our God: His power, His faithfulness, His immutable love, and so may be ready to risk everything in His behalf. He is One whose character excites our enthusiasm and makes us willing to live and to die for Him. Oh, that we may know our God by familiar fellowship with Him; for then we shall become like Him and shall be prepared to stand up for truth and righteousness.


He who comes forth fresh from beholding the face of God will never fear the face of man.


If we dwell with Him, we shall catch the heroic spirit, and to us a world of enemies will be but as the drop of a bucket.


A countless array of men, or even of devils, will seem as little to us as the nations are to God, and He counts them only as grasshoppers.


Oh, to be valiant for truth in this day of falsehood.
