1. The Easiest Yoke “Ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:29, 30). If we find there is something we need to do in the matter of victory, or find that victory is becoming hard, a matter of effort or struggle, we are on the wrong track—we are not on God’s basis . . . The moment our life becomes a mat ter of effort in having victory over sin, we are looking the wrong way. The Lord says, “My yoke is easy,” and. it is the easiest yoke in the world. —Charles G. Trumbull. 2. Living in His Presence “Without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5)-. We may not always be sensible of the revealed presence of Jesus; we may be occupied with many things of necessary duty. But as soon as the heart is dis engaged, it will become aware that He has been standing near all the while, and there will be a bright flash ofrecog- nition and a repetition of the psalmist’s cry, “Thou art near, O Lord.” Ah, life of bliss, lived under the thought of His presence!—F. B. Meyer. 3. Nothing but Good “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, ter them who are the called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:28). CJirist is the Arbiter of all events; in everything His sway is supreme; and He exercises His power for the good of His church. He spins the thread of events . . . and does not suffer- those threads to be woven otherwise than ac cording to the pattern of His loving wis dom. He will not allow the mysterious wheel to revolve in any way which shall not bring good unto His chosen. . . . As all things are working for His glory, so all things are working for their gbod. —Charles Haddon Spurgeon. 4. Looking on His Face “We all, . . . beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image” (2 Cor.- 3:18). Look on His face, so shall His light divine On thee in radiancy and beauty shine. Walk in His steps; the path that Jesus trod Shall lead thee safely on to heaven and God. List to His voice, and thou shalt ever hear
His words of comfort, peace, thine heart to cheer. Put thou thy hand in His, and thou shalt see How strong, how firm, His hold on thee will be. —C. A. Stone. 5. Abundance of Life “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abun dantly” (John 10:10). The Apostle John can never get away from the fact that in the fullness of time God sent His Son. May we realize that He does reward those that diligently seek Him, that hungry though we come, we need not go empty away, and that thirsty though we be, He has draughts of water that can satisfy the soul! So shall we go from faith to faith, from surrender to surrender, from joy" to. joy, and Victory to victory. —Harrington C. Lees. 6. Opening Heavens “I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God” (Acts 7:56). Was he [Stephen] not in extremity? If you are faithful witnesses, you can not hope to escape the stones. That Is the last resource of the enemy. If- he cannot refute you, he has a much shorter method; he will stone you. Oh, if you had but known it, when earth seemed to be closing upon you, heaven was about to open, and you would have learned more of Christ In that hour than in many days of ease! —E. W. Moore.. He Knows It “Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; thou understandest iny thought afar off” (Psa. 139:2). Careless Christian, know that the darkness of your careless ways does not hide you from God. . . . He sees your prayerlessness and your neglect of His Word. He knows what you are ’in the dark and reads all your hidden motives. You used to love Him well, but now you have strayed from His ways, and no longer enjoy His presence. Beware, careless Christian, the darkness hideth not from God.—George M. Blackett. 8. Neglecting Isaac for God “By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: . . . Of whom It was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called” (Heb. 11:17, 18). Isaac had never been so predoui to
