Whispers of His Power – APRIL 7
Ps. 106.48: Let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.
My friend wrote to me about two American missionaries who landed in England on their way to America. They had six children, and they were very poor. Two of the children had typhoid and died. A third was so ill that her mother dared not leave her, even to see the other little ones laid in their graves. There were other difficulties and sorrowful circumstances, but in telling my friend of it all, that mother’s face shone though it was wet with tears. She said: ‘It was all right. When God took full possession of me, He put an everlasting Amen to His Will down in the bottom of my soul.’
We are in the midst of much smaller troubles, but our perplexities can be very perplexing sometimes, and the devil tries to break in upon our peace. Let us ask our God to put an everlasting Amen to His Will down in the bottom of our souls. And let us ask Him to keep it there.
oooOOOooo
