Let us refuse to listen to the ‘I’ that clamours within us as we set another before ourself.

Even a disaster to the flesh only gives the spirit an opportunity to prove the promises of God….

We have for light the presence and the promises of God.  There may be someone whom we are trying to help;  we are trying to bring out of the dark mine of that personality precious jewels for our Lord. 

Let us settle down in peace as a bird settles down in its nest, not wanting any other nest, not wondering why the wind blows our tree so fiercely sometimes, or why the sky is sometimes dark and the rain falls heavily.

Is it not utterly wonderful?  He finds pleasure in loving us. 

‘When I am clean, Lord, keep me too, 
For that is more than I can do.’

Don’t wait to be attacked.  Fight the Lord’s battles and He will fight yours. 

God did not mean us always to have the Living Water drawn for us and poured out into glasses and set on our tables.  We are meant to draw water out of the wells of salvation ourselves
