John Owen says, “What a minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is, and no more.” “When thou prayest”—when thou gatherest up all thy strength, to seek thy God with all thy heart —“shut thy door.” It is in secret prayer that you will make yourself a true worker before God. . . . Go aiterwards to the pulpit, to the platform, to the family altar; but all these are fed at the place of secret prayer. You must have very long and secret hours deep down in the closet, and at the mercy seat.— A lexander W hyte . JULY 5 “Prove Me” "Give, and it shall be given unto you” (Lk. 6:38). The last thing must be yielded that you are holding back from God. Do you want a great blessing? Do you want your little vessel, that you hold up to God, filled with the rain and fruit of heaven, so that it shall overflow and spill wherever you go? Then give yourselves, all that you are, and have, to Him. . . . “Prove me,” God seems to say, “for I am true to My word; prove Me, for I am able to give; prove Me, for I am able to s a tis fy you even here; prove Me, for I can fill up and make your soul to overflow with blessing that you may receive from the hand o f God Himself.” . . . . But there must be restitution, a yielding up, sacrifice, the withholding of nothing. The very last thing must g o ; and when it goes, you shall know that God is God indeed. — J. E lder C um ming . JULY 6 The Wealth of the Promises “ Thy testimonies are very sure" (Psa. 93:5). We have thought upon the promises as our treasure; it is time that we should take a survey o f them, and calculate their value. . . . The promises o f God not only exceed all precedent, but they also exceed all limitation. The promises of Jehovah are as much above all other promises as the heav ens are above the earth. They also exceed all expectation. He does for us exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or even think. Nobody could have imagined that the Lord would have made such promises as He has made: they surpass the dreams o f romance. . . . God surprises us with the surpassing fullness of His cheering words. He overwhelms us with favors till, like David, we sit down in wonder, and cry: “Whence is this to me?” — C harles H addon S purgeon . JULY 7 How to Be Humble "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand o f God” (1 Pet. 5:6 ). We desire ourselves to be humble. But how is it to be brought about? A power is needed greater than our own. It must be the power of God. It is in “the mighty hand o f God.” And how shall we get the
JULY 1 Unto This Day
“Having . . . obtained help of. God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to smgll and great” (Acts 26:22). Unto this day He hath guarded and guided; Unto this day He hath graciously planned; Unto this day He hath sweetly provided, Yea, hath provided with bountiful hand. Unto this day He hath well undertaken; Unto this day He hath kept- by His grace; Why then should spirit or mind be now shaken Though future pathways one may not now trace? —J. D anson S m ith . How often are we inclined to pride our selves on our faithfulness in intercession, our “prayer night and day” I If we were honest with ourselves, we should have to admit that when prayer has truly become the habit o f our life, so that, whether wak ing or sleeping, we are in communion with God, at that point there is a tragic ten dency to regard this holy experience as an achievement of our own. We need to learn from Paul that even our continuance in prayer is the gift o f God! To his son in the gospel, Paul wrote something like this: “ Yes, Timothy, I am praying for you, night and day. But I deserve no merit for such faithfulness, for it is God who keeps me praying, and I thank Him that He does.” ^ E - S elected . JULY 3 Fate o r Faith “ W e walk by faith, not by sighf’ (2 Cor. 5:7). Until we get through all the shivering wisdom that will not venture out on God, we will never know all that is involved in the life o f faith. Fate means stoical resig nation to an unknown force. Faith is not resignation to a power we do not know; it is committal to One whose character we do know because it has been revealed to us in Jesus Christ, As we live in contact with God . . . . we recognize that every detail o f our lives is engineered for us by our heavenly Father. If we aré going to live a life of faith, we must rest nowhere until we see God and know Him in spite o f all apparent contradictions. — O swald C hambers . JULY 4 The Place of the Shut Door "When thou prayest . . . shut thy door” (Matt. 6:6). JULY 2 God Keeps Me Praying “I thank God . . . that without ceasing I have remembrance o f thee in my prayers night and day” (2 Tim. 1 :3).
