To love Him, is the only condition that has to be fulfilled to enjoy the blessed “good” result of God’s working. Let us particularly notice that He does not say, “And we believe that all things,” but, “And we know.” It is blessed to be lieve that all things work together for good, but God will so speak this truth to the yielded, trusting heart, that faith will pass into spiritual knowledge and we can say, “We know.” I should like to draw a circle, the circle of God’s will, and then step into it, and keep in it all my life; then whatever came to me must come through the encircling will of God. If Joseph’s brethren put him in the pit, it is not they who sent him into Egypt, but God. If Judas brings the cup, Jesus says: “The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?” When I am living in the will of God, my enemy may shoot an arrow against me; by the time it reaches me it may glance aside if God wills, but if He wishes it to strike me, it has become God’s will for me. —Streams in the Desert. —o— April 14— “I called unto him, but he gave me no answer” (Song of Solomon 5:6). The Lord, when He hath given great faith, hath been known to try it by long delayings. He has suffered His servants’ voices to echo in their ears as from a brazen sky. They have knocked at the
nothing more? Listen! “Ye are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). Is the power from beneath so much less malignant, destructive, and hellish than iti the Apostles’ days that we can dispense with the power from on high? Nay, a thousand times nay; and if we will but wait before God in our helplessness; in shame and confusion of face confessing our wilfulness and seeking for a self-dis covery, self-hatred, and self-emptying, He will come near to us in our brokenness and contrition, and “he that is feeble at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them . . .” When we awake to our responsibilities with regard to the hundreds of millions, who are our brothers, but who have never yet heard of Christ, and give, labor and pray, as Christ would have us, for their evangel ization, we may expect large blessing at home, but never till then. “Send us, mighty Father, Power from on high.” -— Rev. J. Gregory Mantle. —o— April 12— “He will teach us o f his ways, and we will walk in his paths” (Isa. 2:3). In the days of old, prison cells have shone with the glory of the eternal, and the stake itself has been welcomed as a veritable chariot of fire waiting to convey God’s faithful witnesses into the imme diate presence of their Lord. But it has been so simply because of His Word, known, believed, loved, .and rested upon. And we today, in our humbler and less heroic lives, still need to lean upon the same wondrous Staff. We still need to feed upon the same heavenly Food that has sustained weary travelers in bygone days, and to drink of the same refreshing stream.—Canon F. J. Horsefield. Great crises in life are the times to meet great blessings as well as great dif ficulties.— Dr. Northcote Deck. “Faith of our fathers, living still In spite of dungeon, fire and sword; O how our hearts beat high with joy Whene’er we hear that glorious word! “Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart and conscience free; How sweet would be their children’s1 fate, •If they, like them, could die for Thee! “Faith of our Fathers; holy faith!' We will be true to thee till death!' —o— April 13— “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God” (Rom. 8:28). When adverse circumstances arise, we are tempted to read this verse in this manner: “We know that some things work together for good to them that love God” ; or, “We know that all things work together for good, except this particular, unpleasant thing.” We praise Him be cause He says “all things,” and we know that “all things” include everything—the pleasant and the unpleasant, the human and the diabolical.
