Othniel at Kirjath-sepher, amid the trials of our present life, and the little victories, the significance of which, perhaps, we little dream. At least, let us be sure of this, that if the Holy Ghost has an Othniel ready, the Lord of heaven and earth has a throne prepared for him.— Days of Heaven upon Earth. December 10—" After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bi- thynia : but the Spirit suffered them not” (Acts 16:7). What a strange prohibition! These men were going into Bithynia just to do Christ’s work, and the door is shut against them by Christ’s own Spirit. I, too, have experienced this in certain mo ments. I have sometimes found myself in terrupted in what seemed to me a career of usefulness. Opposition came and forced me to go back, or sickness came and com pelled me to retire into a desert apart. It was hard at such times to leave my work undone when I believed that work to be the service of the Spirit. But I came to re member that the Spirit has not only a service of work, but a service of waiting.
I have treasured up for thee all the while.” Then I look and see fruits richer than I had asked for, and pour out my heart’s thanks to my generous Benefactor, and grieve that I distrusted Him. Surely the longer He makes me wait, the more He gives.— Sel. —o— December 9 —“And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer . . . who delivered them, even Othniel . . . Caleb’s younger brother. And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him” (Judges 3:9, 10). God is preparing His heroes; and when the opportunity comes, He can fit them into their place in a moment, and the world will wonder where they came from. Let the Holy Ghost prepare you, dear friend, by the discipline of life; and when the last finishing touch has been given to the marble, it will be easy for God to put it on the pedestal and fit it into its niche. There is a day coming when, like Othniel, we, too, shall judge the nations, and rule and reign with Christ on the millennial earth. But ere that glorious day can be, we must let God prepare us, as He did
