There is to be no despondency in God's service.  Our faith is to endure the pressure brought to bear upon it.  God is able and willing to bestow upon His servants all the strength they need.  He will more than fulfill the highest expectations of those who put their trust in Him.   {SD 219.6}

Hast thou not known?  hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?  there is no searching of his understanding.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31

So to keep me from being too elated by the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.

Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9 ESV

(N). Hebrews 1:14 

 

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

The word of the Lord says, "Draw nigh to God, and" perhaps he will draw nigh to you?  No, the promise is, "He will draw nigh to you."  God does not do anything for man without his cooperation.  He draws you by the tender cords of his love, and as you respond to this drawing, you draw nigh to him.  As you are seeking his face, the angels minister unto you.  He has at his command ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of angels.  They are constantly ascending and descending; for are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation?  They are ministering in the cities, towns, and villages.  They receive their commission from God, whose eye beholds all things; and when a soul is in discouragement, he sends help from heaven, even before the prayer for help is uttered.  Before we ask, he commissions his ministers to go forth with divine aid.  During the sleepless nights I have passed through the months of my illness, I have taken indescribable comfort in these thoughts.  As soon as my mind was fixed on Jesus, the clouds of darkness were transformed, and all was light in the Lord.  My soul was melted with his love.  Fix the eyes upon Jesus, and say, "Lead me, guide me."  Your prayer will ascend before the Father as fragrant incense; for the merit of Christ will make it of value before God.  {ST, January 16, 1893 par. 4}

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.

Christ will never abandon those for whom He has died.  We may leave Him and be overwhelmed with temptation, but Christ can never turn from one for whom He has paid the ransom of His own life.  Could our spiritual vision be quickened, we should see souls bowed under oppression and burdened with grief, pressed as a cart beneath sheaves, and ready to die in discouragement.  We should see angels flying quickly to the aid of these tempted ones, forcing back the hosts of evil that encompass them, and placing their feet on the sure foundation.  The battles waging between the two armies are as real as those fought by the armies of this world, and on the issue of the spiritual conflict eternal destinies depend.  {PK 175.3}

Great promise

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

While engaged in our daily work, we should lift the soul to heaven in prayer.  These silent petitions rise like incense before the throne of grace; and the enemy is baffled.  The Christian whose heart is thus stayed upon God cannot be overcome.  No evil arts can destroy his peace.  All the promises of God's word, all the power of divine grace, all the resources of Jehovah, are pledged to secure his deliverance.  It was thus that Enoch walked with God.  And God was with him, a present help in every time of need.  {GW 254.2}

Everything depends on the right action of the will.  The power of choice God has given to men; it is theirs to exercise.  You cannot change your heart, you cannot of yourself gve to God its affections; but you can choose to serve Him.  You can give Him your will; He will then work in you to will and to do according to His good pleasure.  Thus your whole nature will be brought under the control of the Spirit of Christ; your affections will be centered upon Him, your thoughts will be in harmony with Him.  {SC 47.1}

Have the Hebrews promise! Wonderful promise. 
SOP reminds me of how much we cannot do. We are totally dependent upon Him. 

Isaiah 59:21 

 

As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord ; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

From the simple Bible account of how Jesus healed the sick, we may learn something about how to believe in Him for the forgiveness of sins.  Let us turn to the story of the paralytic at Bethesda.  The poor sufferer was helpless; he had not used his limbs for thirty-eight years.  Yet Jesus bade him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."  The sick man might have said, "Lord, if Thou wilt make me whole, I will obey Thy word."  But, no, he believed Christ's word, believed that he was made whole, and he made the effort at once; he willed to walk, and he did walk.  He acted on the word of Christ, and God gave the power.  He was made whole.  {SC 50.1} 

In like manner you are a sinner.  You cannot atone for your past sins; you cannot change your heart and make yourself holy.  But God promises to do all this for you through Christ.  You believe that promise.  You confess your sins and give yourself to God.  You will to serve Him.  Just as surely as you do this, God will fulfill His word to you.  If you believe the promise, -- believe that you are forgiven and cleansed, -- God supplies the fact; you are made whole, just as Christ gave the paralytic power to walk when the man believed that he was healed.  It is so if you believe it.  {SC 51.1}
