“I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
“He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
“And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.”
The next day Satan, the tempter, harassed her, raising doubts and fears. Just then the lines of the old hymn
Rock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
came to her mind, and the truth that she was “in Christ Jesus” was revealed to her soul.
“I am in the cleft of the Rock, and I cannot fall out,” she said to the tempter. In a moment Satan was gone.
