dication o f Himself against this insult. And who can doubt but that in allowing John Bunyan to spend precious years o f his life in prison, God had in view the in terests of the multitude of those who have been, and o f those who will be, blessed through the dreamer’s wonderful pictures? ^ S elected . JULY 28 Delivered and Upheld “ The Lord thy God hare thee, as a man doth hear his son, in all the way that ye wenf’ (Deut. 1 :31). Who were they o f whom this blessed fact was declared? They were a chosen people, a redeemed people, a delivered peo ple. The Lord who had brought them out of the house o f bondage did not set them free that they might be a self-guided and self-governed people. Bondage, misery, and perplexity would inevitably have fol lowed, had they been left to their own resources. The Lord redeemed and deliv ered them for Himself. . . . W e see here how God’s gracious upholding fol lows immediately His work, o f redemption. And is not this the history of His dealings with His people today? . . . He thinks o f us and provides for us as a father pities and cares for his children. Let this blessed fact keep us “quiet from fear o f evil,” and deliver us from every anxious thought. Let it constrain u's to lie down and rest in the will o f God.— L ife of F a it h . JULY 29 Something Better "Not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection" (Heb. 11:35). No grace should be more prized by us than that which strengthens us for the cheerful endurance o f present poverty and loss. In a mistaken love of our life, are we not far too eager “to obtain promises” that will fill us with present good, o f one sort or another? H ow little account we make o f faith’s perhaps more fruitful o f fice— “not accepting deliverance” 1 . . . ■Look at the Master’s example in this mat ter. “ Thinkest thou,” said He to Peter, “ that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the Scriptures he fulfilled . . A word would have brought ten thousand eager friends to His help. But how then would the Scripture have been accomplished: “He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter” ? So, for our sake, the Saviour was content to remain undelivered, even to the cross. But, “not accepting deliverance,” assuredly He obtained “a better resurrection.” How much “ better,” eternity shall not suffice to tell. Delivered, He would have saved Him self ; undelivered, He obtained a resurrec tion life o f power and glory and redeeming grace.—C. G. M oore . JULY 30 Coming "Occupy till I come” (Lk. 19:13). Till I come, my child, be busy; do not wait with empty hands, Well improve your time and talents; seek to follow My commands. Sit not still, while idly dreaming of the glory yet before— Rise and labor, ever knowing there is bright reward in store. I am coming, surely coming—yet I love to have you wait, Listening for My nearing footsteps, won dering why they seem so late;
