of love among kindred and friends. . . . But intellect and conscience and heart have sat down at Calvary, and now they are content. . . . They rejoice with a joy which no man can take from them. . . . This is the Land of Promise where the soul is at home.—E. H. S. “I went by the field . . . And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof’ (Prov. 24:30, 31). There are thousands of lives that look like that. Instead of beauty there is the ugliness of thorns and nettles—thorny dis positions, things that tear other lives, atti tudes that embarrass and disturb and humiliate those who should be comforted and strengthened and made to rejoice by our fellowship; stinging nettles of the tongue, unattractive personalities rather than radiant beauty. These things are signs that we have neglected our own vineyard. — W m . H. W righton .* The garden of my heart is grown W ith briers, weeds, and thorns; Great Gardener, prune, until Thy grace The ugliness adorns. — S elected . JUNE 25 Spoiling God’s Plan " And Aaron . . . made . . . a molten calf’ (Ex. 32:2, 4 ). “Little children, keep yourselves from idols’’ (1 John 5:21). D o we not see how God’s purposes are thwarted and deferred by human perversity? At the very time when God had determined upon the election and consecration of Aaron to the priesthood, Aaron was- spending his time in moulding and chiseling the golden calf. . . . W e might have been crowned fifty years ago, but just as the coronation was about to take place we were discovered in the manufacture of an idol. . . . The Lord was just ready to make kings of us when we made fools of ourselves. —J oseph P arker . JUNE 26 An Obedient Attitude “ Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit’’ (1 Pet. 1:22). This must be our continual attitude; at every moment, under every condition— obey ing the truth. And the truth is always what the God of truth reveals and desires. In all our ways we must seek to know His will, and humbly obey it. This will react on our souls, and purge us from the evil which ever lurks there. W e thus see that our part is the abandoning of evil, and the surrender of our hearts and lives to the incoming of the Holy Spirit, and His part the cleansing of our hearts through the application of the blood of Christ.—W . W . M artin . JUNE 27 Keeping the Upward Look "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ’’ (Tit. 2:13). Michael Angelo, by his prolonged and *From A Philosopher’s Love for Christ, Eerdmans Publishing Co. Copyrightedx 1937 . JUNE 24 Neglected
unremitting toil upon frescoed domes, ac- quired such an habitual upturn of counte nance that, as he ! walked the streets, strangers, observing his bearing, set him down as a visionary and eccentric. I f we profess to be Christians, with our conversa tion in heaven, then let our faces be set thitherward. Instead of looking at the earth as the man with the muck rake did, let us walk the dusty lanes of life with that up ward look, keeping ourselves unspotted from the world.— H erbert L ockyer . JUNE 28 A Steadying Goal “ I have set the Lord always before me” (Psa. 16:8). Let us ponder the example of Him who never failed to trust, who turned to no plans of His own, who was unmoved, because He set Jehovah always before Him, and is now eternally glorified as the One who always and perfectly glorified the Father. Then shall we, when conscious that our souls are waiting upon God, still say to ourselves, with a fear and trembling that does not impair confidence, “My soul, wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from him.” — W . H. B ennet . JUNE 29 From Everlasting to Everlasting “Peace, from him who is and who was and who is to come” (Rev. 1:4, R.V.). Darkness gathering, turmoil, doubt, Satan’s inroads all about, Scoffers railing, Men’s hearts failing, Battles sore, within, without— But, Peace! Because He is! Calvary’s darkness, a cross, a cry! A risen Saviour gone on high, Satan defeating, Redemption completing, The sinner freed, redeemed, brought nigh— And Peace! Because He was! Darkness preceding the flush of dawn, Pregnant with hope of the Coming One, Whose own, preparing, His sufferings sharing, Await the light of a new day begun— So Peace! Because He is to come! — E lsie K. W eills . JUNE 30 Definite Petitions and Promises “ O Lord Jehovah, thou art God, and thy words are truth, and thou hast promised this good thing unto thy servanf’ (2 Sam. 7 :28, R.V.). King David knew what the Lord had engaged to give him, and he referred to it specially in his prayer as “ this good thing.” W e greatly need to be more definite in our supplications than we usually are; we pray for everything in such a way that we prac tically pray for nothing. It is well to know what we want. . . . Knowing what we need, the next business •is to find that the Lord lias promised us this particular blessing, for then we can go to God in the utmost con fidence, and look for the fulfillment of His word. T o this end we should diligently search the Scriptures. — C harles H addon S purgeon .
