LET ME NOT BE ASHAMED--- Psalm 25:2.

"O my God, I trust in thee; let me not be ashamed." --- Psalm 25:2.

"In thee, O Lord, do I hope; thou wilt hear, O Lord, my God." --- Psalm 38:15.

"Let none that wait on thee be ashamed." --- Psalm 25:3.

Divine Answer: "Hope maketh not ashamed." --- Romans 5:5.

"They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which abideth for ever." --- Psalm1 25:1.

"Though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." --- Hebrews 2:3.

"Thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me." --- Isaiah 49:23.

Does God delay his promises, and the enemy raise a suspicion against his faithfulness? Remember it is said, "Pray and wait." Thou art still alive, and shall be a witness to God's faithfulness. If he was not faithful and true, he could not be God.

His faithfulness is eternal, and as sure and as great as himself; above all our thoughts. Thou shalt at the last the more gloriously experience it, and not be ashamed: heaven and earth shall pass away, but his word shall not fail, because he "keepeth truth for ever." --- Psalm 146:6.

Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God: he made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their train,
And none shall find his promise vain.

His truth for ever stands secure;
He saves th' oppress'd, he feeds the poor;
He sends the lab'ring conscience peace,
And grants the pris'ner sweet release.
