Christ is The Perfect Sacrifice – Hebrews 9:23 – 9:28

God Alone Was “His Present Help in Trouble.”

Lt. General Sir William Dobbie (Dobbie of Malta)  was Governor General of Malta during the Second World War - at a time when the defense of Malta was at its darkest hour. Dobbie, a committed Christian, realized the weakness of his position and that God alone was “his present help in trouble.”His first “Special Order of the Day”, defining policy governing the defense of the island read: “I know that the courage and determination of all ranks will not falter and that with God’s help we will maintain the security of this fortress, I therefore call upon all officers and other ranks humbly to seek God’s help and then in reliance upon Him to do their duty unflinchingly.” (A Very Present Help - Sir William Dobbie p. 11-12).
