It is the robe in which He wraps His form, For He doth gird Him with the flashing Storm. It is the veil in which He hides the light Of His fair face, too dazzling for thy sight. God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A trial that is terrible to thee? A black temptation threatening to see ? A loss o f some dear one long thine own? A mist, a veiling, bringing the unknown? A mystery that unsubstantial seems? A cloud between thee and the sun’s bright beams ? God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A sickness, weak old age, distress, and death ? These clouds will scatter at thy last faint breath. Fear not the clouds that hover o’er thy barque, Making the harbor’s entrance dire and dark; The cloud of death,, though misty, chill, and cold. Will yet grow radiant with a fringe of gold. God cometh in that cloud. —Streams in the Desert. — o — September 5— "Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs o f water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs” (Josh. 15:19). There are both upper and nether springs. They are springs, not stagnant pools. There are joys and blessings that flow from above through the hottest sum mer and the most desert land of sorrow and trial. The lands of Acsah were the “south lands,” lying under a burning sun and often parched with burning heat. But from the hills there came the unfailing springs that cooled, refreshed and ferti lized all the land. No matter what our situation, we can always find these upper Bilhorn
must pray. They that would be more than conqueror need to pray. Do you say that that appointed hour which you have set aside for prayer only, you have neg lected? Is that hour crowded with busi ness and cares? Can you not take one hour, and spend it alone with God? Ah, dear one, Satan knows full well that if we get alone with God we will be strength ened ; mount up with wings as eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint. He will try every method to keep us from being alone with God, even if it is only one hour out of twenty-four. One hour alone with God will enable us to go forth with boldness and face the foe. They that spend much time in prayer are strong in faith, and "courageous. They stagger not at the promises o f God through unbelief. Do not allow yourself to become so en grossed in your work that you neglect prayer. If you pray first, your work will go better, and in it you will find great delight.— Selected. —o— September 3— “In waiting, I waited for the Lord” (Psa. 40:1). Must life be a failure for one com pelled to stand still in enforced inaction and see the great throbbing tides of life go by? No; victory is then to be gotten by standing still, by quiet waiting. It is a thousand times harder to do this than it was in the active days to rush on in col umns o f stirring life. It requires a grander heroism to stand and wait and not lose heart and not lose hope; to sub mit to the will of God; to give up work and honors to others; to be quiet, confi dent and rejoicing, while the happy, busy multitude go on and away. It is the grandest life “having done all, to stand.” — J. R. Miller. — o — September 4— “ The Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him” (Num. 11: 25). Hast thou a cloud? A something that is dark and full of dread, A messenger of tempest overhead? A something that is darkening the sky; A something growing darker by and by; A something that thou fear’st will burst at last; A cloud that doth a deep, long shadow cast? God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? It is Jehovah’s triumph-car; in this He rideth to thee, o’er the wide abyss.
