                                                                           We Dare Not Doubt

"I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron."
                                                                                        ~ Isaiah 45:2

The Lord Jesus Christ

  "This was for Cyrus; but it is also for the Lord's followers. Let us go forward by faith, and our way will be cleared for us. Crooks and turns of human craft and satanic subtlety shall be straightened for us. The gates and iron bars will be destroyed. We shall not need the battering ram: the Lord Himself will do the impossible for us.

Jesus and His army.

  Let us not fear. Let us press onward in the path of duty, for the Lord has said, "I will go before You." Ours is not to reason why; ours is but to dare and dash forward. It is the Lord's work, and He will enable us to do it: all impediments must yield before Him.
  Those who serve God have infinite resources. The way is clear to faith, though barred to human strength. When Jehovah says, "I will," as He does twice in this promise, we dare not doubt."
