Welcome to the Days of Praise Podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The joy that is promised. But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, charged you to love the Lord your God and to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and to cleave unto him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. Joshua 22.5. The fourth verse of the hymn, "Praise the Savior ye who know him," reminds us of our responsibility to be faithful to our calling. At our new birth, we were fully granted eternal life, a standing we have now. Yet we must strive to prove our love, by obedience and holiness and maintain the sweet relationship with God. "Keep us, Lord, O keep us cleaving, to thyself and still believing, till the hour of our receiving promised joys with thee." While he doesn't need our help in accomplishing his will, we are granted the privilege of serving him. And we must never come to the place of unbelief. Doubts sometimes come, placed there by the tempter, but they should drive us to further study, deeper growth, and the eventual resolution of doubt. Doubt must never be allowed to fester into disbelief. There will come the day when our belief is complete, as faith passes into sight. Unknowable joy will be ours, he promises. God himself shall be with them and be their God, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away, and he that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new."
