who profess to be children of God I would invite to consider
the history of the Israelites, as recorded in the one hundred and fifth,
the one hundred and sixth, and the one hundred and seventh psalms.
By carefully studying these scriptures, we may be able to appreciate
more fully the goodness, mercy, and love of our God.
A Hymn Of The Promised Land
“Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon His name;
Make known among the peoples His doings.
Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him;
Talk ye of all His marvelous works.
Glory ye in His holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength;
Seek His face evermore.
“Remember His marvelous works that He hath done,
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
O ye seed of Abraham His servant,
Ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
He is Jehovah our God:
His judgments are in all the earth.
He hath remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath unto Isaac,
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,
To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance;
When they were but a few men in number,
Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.

106 Testimonies for the Church Volume 8
And they went about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
He suffered no man to do them wrong;
Yea, He reproved Kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not Mine anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.
[108]
“And He called for a famine upon the land;
He brake the whole staff of bread.
He sent a man before them;
Joseph was sold for a servant:
His feet they hurt with fetters:
He was laid in chains of iron,
Until the time that His word came to pass,
The word of Jehovah tried him.
The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
He made him Lord of his house,
And ruler of all his substance;
To bind his princes at his pleasure.
And teach his elders wisdom
Israel also came into Egypt;
And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
And He increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their adversaries.
“He turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal subtly with His servants.
He sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron whom He had chosen.
They set among them His signs,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against His words.
He turned their waters into blood,

And slew their fish.
Their land swarmed with frogs
