“Though to the wicked the night of death is followed by a night of endless despair,
yet to the righteous the longest and darkest night has its morning of joy (**Psalm
30:5**).

Sharp as are the trials of the saints, they are but short.

Great is the mercy to us that God is slow to anger and that His anger endureth but
a moment.

If He delighted in punishing, who could stand before Him?

While the Scriptures assure us that God’s anger is short, they as clearly teach 
us, that His mercy endureth forever.

Oh that the saints would study God’s character!

Wonderful love, mercy and purity shine in it all.

His name is the glory of the universe.”
