THE MOUNT OF THE LORD IS THE PLACE OF BLESSING. There the Lord Jehovah has bountiful supplies for His people. He orders the bestowment of them, and hears and answers prayer for them. He may allow them to undergo trials, dangers, and setbacks; but "in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen." He will show Himself as rigidly faithful to His word; as kind and merciful in all His dealings; as attentive to the wants and wishes of His people; as ready to supply them, and display His love and power in delivering them. In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen that Satan is a liar; that all our fears were groundless; that unbelief is a great sin; that the prayer of faith shall surely be answered; that faith and hope shall not be disappointed; that Jesus is touched with the feeling of our infirmities; and that none shall be ashamed who trust in, and obey the commands of the most high God. Beloved, we have seen the Lord in the mount of trial. We have seen how it has turned into the mount of mercy, and we shall yet see Him on the mount of His glory.

For Meditation:
'Tis in the mount the Lord is seen,
And all His saints shall surely find,
Though clouds and darkness intervene,
He still is gracious, still is kind;
Yes, in the mount, the Lord makes bare
His mighty arm, His whelming power;
Displays a Father's tender care,
In the most trying, darkest hour.
