<TITLE>08. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 How could we ever doubt the Word of the Creator? How did the world ever come into existence? Where did God get the material to make it with? Did you ever stop to think of that? He just spoke it.
And after all, the very creation that's here now is nothing more than the Word of God made manifest. Think of it. The trees that grows is the Word of God. The mountains that reach the sky, and causes us if we wish to see beauty, look up the mountain. And the farther you go up the mountain the more pure and clean it becomes.
Standing yonder in the glacier fields of northern British Columbia as you look here at the swamp, a little higher the water runs cleaner; it gets bluer and purer. The trees fade out. All nature seems to say, "Look up." And way over the top of the great glaciered ice that's so brilliant till even it shines like the sun, you're looking up. If you want to see wholesome, and real things, and pure things, always look up. The mountain points it.
David said, "I'll look unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord."

L-31 The tutor always pointed the child to the father, and to have him to believe the father. And then the tutor was a trainer.
This morning as I was looking at my dear little companion, and I seen my little son when he throwed his little tantrum at the table with his little dish with his eggs and things that mother had worked so faithfully to fix for his breakfast. And she was trying to teach him to eat with his spoon. And he wanted to take the wrong hand. Well, to me I said, "Let him have that hand." But the mother knowed different. She knew if she let him keep on that way he'd be either ambidextrous or he would be left-handed. And that's not normal. So as a real trainer she made him change hand, though he didn't like it. But the mother knowed what was best.

L-32 And many a time our Trainer the Holy Spirit, we try to do it the wrong way, but sometimes it hurts us. Sometimes we may lay on a bed of affliction; sometimes the doctor may say that all hopes is gone; but it's the Holy Spirit teaching us to use the right hand. He knows what's best. He knows how the Father wants it done. He is the trainer.
And I thought... Little Joseph, he wouldn't use the hand, so the mother reaches up and gets her frailing stick, about so long. And she tapped it on the side, and he looked over to me. But yet I loved him with all my heart, would die freely for him, but I knew the mother knowed best. I said, "She's training the child."
We can't look for sympathy and be sympathized with too much. We must listen to the child-training of our Father. He knows what's best. Sometimes we say, when the Gospel's being preached, "Oh, I'll just go to my church. They don't tr... I'll just believe it this a way." See? But remember the Holy Spirit knows best. It knows how to train you. Sometimes It taps the stick, corrects you. And you must remember God made Him the--the child-trainer for the Church. And He loves the Father, and He will always point to the Father.

L-33 And now, when the child was training up, that didn't mean the child... The child is certainly a child of the father, but if it was a disobedient child, the trainer always had trouble with it, always it was in and out, up-and-down, well, then, this message had to be brought to the father when the father required, "How is my child progressing?"
Then he would have to say, "It's not doing so well." Well, then, of course that grieved the heart of the father.
And it does today when the Holy Spirit has to bring our record before God. When we become children of God we ought to walk worthy of the vocation. We ought to walk worthy of everything that God has laid down for us to do, for the Holy Spirit's training us, child-training.
