Whispers of His Power – MARCH 8
We don’t go out alone into any endeavour.
We don’t go out alone into any endeavour.
The way of obedience is the way of joy.
If one lover of the Lord goes to a meeting unready, conscious perhaps of some shadow of self in the centre, some out-of-tuneness, there will be loss to everyone.
Above all, thank God for His Book of books. Is there a need it cannot meet? Is there a dryness it cannot refresh? Not one.
There is a sense in which every soul that follows hard after its God must find itself alone. ‘He who follows Him the nearest needs must walk alone.’ It is part of the discipline of life.
‘Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find:’
When I was small I used to think that, if I wanted very much to do a thing, that thing was probably wrong. And if I didn’t want to do it, it was probably right….
How much easier it would be if we knew when hearts that are holding out against the Lord would yield, or when some private trial of our own would pass.
The Lord is for me (margin). What can man do unto me? Nothing. Nothing that really matters. Nothing that can do any harm. Nothing that will not be turned to golden good.
So let us defy the devil who loves to make us feel smoky, and ‘increase and continue’ in the glorious joy of the Lord that is strength.
