The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace” (Psa. 29: 10, 11). Here is a striking description of a tempestuous day: storms shake the heavens, the lightning flashes amid the crashing thunder, while the wind roars, and the rain descends—yet the Lord Himself “sitteth upon the flood.” He is at rest. . . . As harmony can often be appreciated better in con trast with discord, so the strength and peace of the people of God can be estimated at their true value only as they pass through the strain and stress of the'conflict that is in the world.—W. H. Warren. 29. If the Lord Will “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (Jas. 4:14); Life’s uncertainties help us to see things in a truer proportion. It has become obviously impossible for any one to say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, buy and sell, and get gain.” ’ In addition to the .general uncer tainty of life, its ¿current has itself been thrown out of its regular course by the development of world disturb ance. How can we fail to take to heart, and to bear in continual remembrance, the direction: “Ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that” ?— The Christian. Not Unto Us “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake” (Psa. 115:1). “Not unto us, O Lord, not, unto us,” The praise or honor, power or glory be! Our naked spirit bows in shame and dust. And empty all our nothingness to Thee. “Not unto us!” How trifling all our might, Our toils or talents, gifts or growth or grace; Nothing, and less than nothing, in Thy sight, Our works, ourselves! ' Before Thy glorious face. “Not unto us!” O Lord of lords, su preme, Whate’er we work, Thou workest; Thine the praise; O wake us, cleanse us, light us with Thy beam, And work, in us, through us, to end less days. —George Lansing Taylor. 30.
26. The Way Out “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). A distinguished artist declared it to be a wrong thing pictorially to have a picture of a woodland or for est without showing a path leading out of it. He said, “When the true artist paints a landscape, he invari ably gives some suggestion of a path which can carry the eye out of the picture. Otherwise the tangle of trees and undergrowth would suffocate, or the wide, trackless spaces dismay.” So God, in the great portrait of re demption, provides a way for escape for the sinner. Against the black back ground of man’s sin, the divine Artist has painted the true pathway to sal vation. —Brethren Missionary Herald. 27. God’s Plan “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of of Christ” (Eph. 4:13). Some people stop merely with the possession of life; but this is not the whole plan of God, and it is His will that every hour of every day the waves of the life of our blessed Christ should roll in upon us, There will be for every one of us a constant in flux of life and overflow of blessing so long as the channel between our selves and Christ Is kept unhindered. —Spiritual Life. 28. The Storm “The Lord Sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King forever.
