Daily Devotional Readings
1. Refusing God's Answers “The heart is deceitful” (Jer. 17:9). We pray for light; But when it shines, and makes our duty clear, Then, faltering, we hide our eyes in fear, Believing it a sweet, a happy thing; Yet when it brings us pain and suffer ing, Our love we slay. We offer prayer For opportunity: yet when it knocks Upon our door, heedless we turn the lock, All unaware. Father in heaven, •reach us to understand what w& pray, That we may turn Thine answers not away When they are given. —Mary L. Strachan. Riches for the Claiming “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19). He is “made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” Everything is paid for in advance and is without money and without price to us. Help yourself; it will not cost any more. Why should we live at a poor dying rate when He has brought us into His banqueting house? Oh, that we may learn to be thankful! Let us appropriate the un searchable riches of Christ. —Selected. 3. The Changing and the Changeless “He appeared in another form” (Mk. 16:12). There are as many ways of looking at a picture as there are beholders; every mind has its own impressive ness, and every eye its own percep tion. When Jesus appeared in another form, the difference might have been in Him, but it might also have been in those who saw Him . . . All of us are different to different people, dif ferent also at different periods of our lives. Even if we use the same lan guage about Him, it had one mean ing for our childhood, and another ■meaning for our more mature years. Different experiences of Christ have led to different movements, have written different chapters in history, but the experience is one and continuous, for Christ is one. He retains His identity Nor bear the sight. For love we pray, 2.
y o u good tid ings of great joy . . . For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, wh i c h is Christ the Lord” (Lk. 2:10, 11). through all generations, and He re news the experience of Himself In every life that trusts Him. In another world of purer air He will be the same Jesus, but the kinship will be closer and the experience deeper. —John MacBeath The Goodness of Failure “For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me” (2 Cor. 12:8). Too often we make our success the measure of God’s will for us. When things go well, we say God is with us. When things go wrong, we con clude that God has forgotten us. But it may be that God presses His will upon us by forcing us to fail on our own undertaking. He is grieved by our “ independence.” He would have us dependent upon Him.— Upward. 5. The Right Start “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee” (Psa. 5:3). There is something new and un tried before us each new day; there is hope and expectancy along the way that we are to travel. Let us wait on Him in prayer . . . for a sense of direction for each new day. John Henry Newman is said to have spent two hours daily in prayer. John Wesley rose at four o’clock each morn ing to begin his daily devotions. Christ Himself ~ took time from the night to pray. —The Brethren Evangelist. God's Process with Faith “Now the God of peace . . . Make you perfect in every good work to do his will” (Heb. 13:20, 21). Faith is the assurance th a t, the thing which God has said in His Word 4. 6.
