In these days we can have such fel lowship within where Christ dwells, that we can face all change, even dis aster, with serenity , . . Living with Him we “see something” beyond the conflicts that are ours today. —James Henry Hutchins. 17. He Cannot Fail “Let us hoid fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised” (Heb. 10:23). Whether I am to know the. calm sunny days of work and blessing, or the battles of illness and troubles that beset all members of this race, I can, none the less, pillow my head upon the promises of God, with the certain ' knowledge that all things will work together for my good, and that noth ing shall ever touch me until it has been passed through the loving will of my heavenly Father. —Donald Grey Barnhouse. 18. Seated Above “He raised him [Christ] from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the -, heavenly places, far above all * principality,' <■ and power” (Eph. 1:20, 21). , The Lord Christ is above the prin cipalities and powers. He is not under them and the believer is seated with Him far above also. “Seated,” you caft- not fight external foes if you have.'a conflict within. You must be sitting down “inside.” If you lose your in ward peace you are at the> mercy of the devil. —Alliance Weekly. 19. Daily Supply “The inward man is renewed day by day” (2 Cor. 4:16). A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next six months, or take: sufficient air into his lungs at once to sustain life for a week to come. We must draw upon God’s boundless Stores for grace from day to day, as we need it. —Dwight L. Moody. 20. Peace for Your Day “The dayspring from on high hath visited us, . . . to guide our feet into fhe way of peace” (Lift. 1:78, 79). • We need the peace of God in our heart just as really for the doing well of the little things in our secular life as for the doing of the greatest duties of Christ’s kingdom. Our face ought to shine, our spirit ought to be tranquil, our eyes ought to be clear, and our nerves ought to be steady as we press through the tasks of our commonest day. Then we shall do them all well, slurring nothing, marring nothing, be
cause we have waited at Christ’s feet ere we go forth. —J. R. Miller. 21. Resurrection Living “Lijce as Christ was raised up from the -dead by the glory of thé Father, even so we also should walk in new ness of life” (Rom. 6:4). For resurrection living there is resur rection power . .< And the praise and prayer of trusting may glorify each hour. For common days are holy, and years an Eastertide To those who with the living Lord in living faith abide. Break through my bounds whate’er it cost; what is not Thine within .me slay, Give me the lot I covet most, to rise as Thou hast risen today. I naught can do, a slave to death I pine; Work Thou in me, O Power and Life divine. —Tersteegen. 22. Great Is Our God “How is it that ye have no faith? . . . even the wind and fhe Sea obey him” (Mk. 4:40, 41). One of the things that will astonish us in the glory will be the smallness of our conception as to what the Lord was, willing to do for us. If it is ac cording to the exceeding greatness of His power, Surely we should look to Him for greater things. As Satan is working with mighty power in these closing years of this present age, so should we expect miracles in the great matter of getting the gospel to all who have never heard. —R. C. McQuilkin. 23. After God's Own Heart “The’ Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart” (1 Sam. 13:14). Thpje are men in the Bible of whom, had inis’ been written, it could never have helped me as it does when I see it written of David—a man who did so fall and fail and stoop to sin. Why does it help me? Because it excuses sin? A thousand times no! But be cause it shows me that God’s measure ment of a man, and God’s ability to deal with a man, depend upon the deepest aspiration in that man’s heart; and that God takes the meas urement of a man by what he wills to be, and not by the faltering and fail ing of the moment. * —G. Campbell Morgan. 24. Loving Consideration ‘‘Be kindly affectioned one to an other with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another” (Rom. 12:10).
