Excerpt from Week-Day Evening Addresses: Delivered in Manchester
So at every crisis where these prophets were brought full front with hostile power; where a tremendous mes sage was laid upon their hearts and lips to utter where natural strength would fail where they were likely to be daunted or dazzled by temptations, either of the sweet ness or the terrors of material things, these two great heroes of the Old Covenant, out of sight the strongest men in the old Jewish history, steady themselves by one thought, - God lives, and I am His servant.
For that phrase, before whom I stand, obviously means chie¿y whom I serve. It is found, for instance, in Deuteronomy, where the priests' office is thus defined The sons of Levi shall stand before the Lord to minister unto Him. And in the same way, it is used in the Queen of Sheba's wondering exclamation to Solomon, Blessed are thy servants, and blessed are the men that stand before thy face continually.
