JANUARY 25 Breathing His Spirit
"And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and de parted into a solitary place, and there prayed” (Mk. 1:35). How much prayer meant to Jesus! It was not only His regular habit, but His resort in every emergency, however slight or serious. When perplexed, He prayed; when hard pressed by work, He prayed; when hungry for fellowship, He fouhd it in prayer. He chose His associates and re ceived His messages upon His knees . . . Shall not we . . . ask Him daily to teach us how to pray, and then plan to get alone with. Him regularly that He may have opportunity to teach us, and we the oppor tunity to practice His teaching? —S. D. G ordon . Imagine an airplane on the ground. It is held to the earth by the power of grav ity, and is in captivity to that law. Then a pilot approaches, . . . and soon that air plane is seen to move onward and up ward. Where is the law of gravity now? . . . It is still there, and is just as power ful as it was before. A new law, however, has taken possession of that machine—a law of life, power, and motion—with the result that it has been lifted above the law of gravity and released from its bondage . . . Hallelujah! This is the “reigning life.” Such a life is pregnant with glori ous possibilities. Here alone can be found true joy, heavenly wisdom, and spiritual authority.— C aptain R eginald W allis . JANUARY 26 Lifted by New Life "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God send ing his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh” (Rom. 8:3). “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly” (Matt. 6 : 6 ) . When we have “shut the door,” quite as much depends upon what we shut in as upon what we shut out. We shall prey upon ourselves even when we pray to God, unless our prayer is more than self scrutiny. The truth we love and the Lord who is its incarnation ought ever to keep us company when we are alone. . . . “I thought of Jesus,” said Samuel Rutherford, “until every stone in the walls of my prison cell shone like a ruby.”— Alliance Weekly.
