Whispers of His Power – NOVEMBER 13
Ps. 119.161-162: My heart standeth in awe of Thy word. I rejoice at Thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
Did you ever notice this curious thing about Bible reading? Wherever you read, if only you go on reading and don’t stop at the end of the chapter because it is the end, you come upon the very word you most need at that moment.
And did you ever notice this? It doesn’t matter whether you read according to Scripture Union Notes, or some other system, or some way of your own, your reading seems to have been arranged specially for you, so that one portion fits with another.
We do truly find great spoil in God’s word, which makes us rejoice. But let us remember what comes first, My heart standeth in awe of Thy word. And If ye love Me, keep My commandments (John 14.15). If we love we do as the loved one wishes: ‘A wish is a command to one who loves.?
oooOOOooo
