Copyright © 1996 by Dave Fiedler 10/12 Zapf Caligraphic Academy Enterprises 6200 Academy Lane Harrah, OK 73045 Printed by Review and Herald Graphics 55 West Oak Ridge Drive Hagerstown, MD 21740 HE Lord directed Moses to recount to the children of Israel His dealings with them in their deliverance from Egypt Tand their wonderful preservation in the wilderness. He was to call to mind their unbelief and murmuring when brought into trial, and the Lord's great mercy and loving-kindness, which had never forsaken them. This would stimulate their faith and strengthen their courage. While they would be led to realize their own sin and weakness, they would realize also that God was their righteousness and strength. It is just as essential that the people of God in this day should bear in mind how and when they have been tested, and where their faith has failed; where they have imperiled His cause by their unbelief and also by their self-confidence. God's mercy, His sustaining providence, His never-to-be-forgotten deliver- ances, are to be recounted, step by step. As God's people thus review the past, they should see that the Lord is ever repeating His dealings. —Testimonies for the Church, vol. 7, 210 Table of Contents Preface ...................................................................................... 7 1.
