Whispers of His Power – APRIL 28
‘Feet accustomed to the road to God can find it in the dark’
‘Feet accustomed to the road to God can find it in the dark’
It makes us feel ashamed of ever making much of any trouble. The heavenly people don’t. Our Lord never did.
Don’t wait till ‘something happens’ that we must pray about, but praise for every day that ‘nothing happens’.
Self must die – that is the message of the sponge.
For the quiet joy of Duty,
Praise, praise I sing,
For the commonplace and lowly,
Set with pleasure high and holy,
In each unromantic thing,
Praise, praise to Thee, my King.
Even if you are ill and unable to work, you can do what God’s unnamed servants of old did: they were chosen to give thanks to the Lord, and so are you.
Never, never did He not hear. Never was He far away.
Do we ever ask lightly to be forgiven, forgetting the cost of that forgiveness?
The sense of our need is the condition of God’s help.
God give us the soldier spirit, the spirit that thirsts to be more than conqueror.
