There is a river, the streams thereof shall make glad the city of God. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved. Psalms 46:4-5. Ye that are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4. Psalms 110:2. Zechariah 2:5.
True Christians still are subject to temptations from within and without; but watching unto prayer they do not fall by them. On the contrary, as temptations are great helps to discover their hidden infirmities, and stir them up to be more cautious, serious and faithful, they are followed and rewarded with great and glorious victories; consequently are so far from being half a fall, that they rather serve to keep believers from falling. What reason have we then to be afraid of temptations, since every one carries a new blessing along with it?
How honourable is the place
Where we adoring stand,
Zion, the glory of the earth,
And beauty of the land.
Bulwarks of mighty grace defend
The city where we dwell,
The walls of strong salvation made,
Defy the assaults of hell.
Trust in the Lord, for ever trust,
And banish all your fears;
Strength in the Lord Jehovah, dwells.
Eternal as his years.
What though the rebels dwell on high,
His arm shall bring them low.
Low as the caverns of the grave,
Their lofty heads shall bow.
