Saviour, and in simple faith, you took Him as your Redeemer. “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12). Believing is re ceiving. I have found that many people who trusted the Lord Jesus Christ at the cross, now don’t tr u s t Him day by day. They believe and are able to quote Scriptures, but their trusting seems to be only a mental attitude. Too many have ac cepted Christ at the cross and then go and try to fight the battles of life alone. This is foolish. The answer to your anxiety isn’t reading books, or taking special pills, or even doing a lot of praying. These are all very wonderful in their proper place but God’s perfect answer is the Lord Jesus Christ. All the promises of God find their “Yes” in Him. This perfect peace can be yours as by simple faith you come trusting in Christ. As an example, what’s your prob lem now? Is it domestic — concern ing your family? Is it your health? Is it the pressure of business or is it some financial manner? You know in your own heart what it is. You also realize how impossible it is for you to meet these situations and come forth in spiritual victory. Remember, you’re not alone. The Lord Jesus Christ is with you. He has assuredly promised this. He dwells in your heart, in the person of His Holy Spirit. He’s not millions of space miles away. All you have to do is to breathe up to Him, “Lord Jesus, this is I again; Lord, I with all of my anxieties, problems, and fears. But, Lord Jesus, I’m remembering again that all of the promises of God find their ‘yes’ in You. Lord, I want peace. Your Word promises that You will keep me in perfect peace if I remain trusting You. So, dear Lord, this is exactly what I’m going to do. Lord, I’m going to claim the promise now. With all of Your power give me peace, the gift of Your divine love.”

We have a wonderful Biola radio friend, Glen Millett by name, who lives at the Sunset Nursing Home in Albany, Oregon. Brother Millett is completely paralyzed from the neck down, only able to move his head. He has been completely dependent upon nurses to feed and care for him like a new-born babe. It's not some thing new; he has been like this for about thirty years. Yet with a smile on his countenance, he testifies that he was not a Christian when the affliction came upon him. So, if this is what God had to do to bring him to Christ, in his own words, he says, " I am glad He did it.'' What a tre mendous testimony and humbling wit ness this is! Is your heart in tune with God, Do you love Him as you should? Are you thankful for the rod. Would you shun it, if you could? Do you glorify the Lord By the way you live each day? Do you magnify His Word, By the things you do and say? Let the Holy Spirit guide you. He will always lead you right, He will ever walk beside you. If you walk by faith— not sight. — Glen Millett T H E W O R T H O F A B O Y Nobody knows what a boy is worth A boy at his work or play, A boy who whistles about the place Or laughs in a carefree way, Nobody knows what a boy is worth A boy with his face aglow, For in his heart are secrets deep Not even the wisest know. Nobody knows what a boy is worth And the world must wait and see, For every man in an honored place Is a boy that used to be.
