Our Helper in Prayer
"Seeing then that we have a great high Priest...Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Let us come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Heb. 4:14,16). Our great Helper in prayer is the Lord Jesus Christ, our Advocate wit...

Don't Rush
"Who is among you that feareth Jehovah, that obeyeth the voice of his servant? He that walketh in darkness and hath no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah and rely upon his God" (Isa. 50:10, RV). What shall the believer do in times of darkness--the darkness of perplexity and confusion, not o... Read More

Leave It To God
"Roll on Jehovah thy way" (Ps. 37:6, margin). Whatever it is that presses thee, go tell the Father; put the whole matter over into His hand, and so shalt thou be freed from that dividing, perplexing care that the world is full of. When thou art either to do or suffer anything, when thou art about an... Read More

Counting the Cost
"I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord" (Phil. 3:8). This is the happy season of ripening cornfields, of the merry song of the reapers, of the secured and garnered grain. But let me hearken to the sermon of the field. This is its solemn word to me. ...

My Father's Giving
"Prove me now" (Mal. 3:10). What is God saying here but this: "My child, I still have windows in Heaven. They are yet in service. The bolts slide as easily as of old. The hinges have not grown rusty. I would rather fling them open, and pour forth, than keep them shut, and hold back. I opened them fo... Read More

In The Heavenly Places
"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ . . . and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:4-6). This is our rightful place, to be "seated ... Read More

Free Through Suffering
"Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress" (Ps. 4:1). This is one of the grandest testimonies ever given by man to the moral government of God. It is not a man's thanksgiving that he has been set free from suffering. It is a thanksgiving that he has been set free through suffering: "Thou hast en... Read More

Can Thine Heart Endure
"We know not what we should pray for as we ought" (Rom. 8:26). Much that perplexes us in our Christian experience is but the answer to our prayers. We pray for patience, and our Father sends those who tax us to the utmost; for "tribulation worketh patience." We pray for submission, and God sends suf... Read More

Hidden Workers
"John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true" (John 10:41). You may be very discontented with yourself. You are no genius, have no brilliant gifts, and are inconspicuous for any special faculty. Mediocrity is the law of your existence. Your days are remarkable for nothi... Read More

God's Refreshment
"The journey is too great for thee" (1 King 19:7). And what did God do with His tired servant? Gave him something good to eat, and put him to sleep. Elijah had done splendid work, and had run alongside of the chariot in his excitement, and it had been too much for his physical strength, and the reac... Read More

Out of Wounding
"Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22.). The best things of life come out of wounding. Wheat is crushed before it becomes bread. Incense must be cast upon the fire before its odors are set free. The ground must be broken with the sharp plough before it is ready to ... Read More

Leave it With Him
"Consider the lilies, how they grow" (Matt. 6:28). I need oil," said an ancient monk; so he planted an olive sapling. "Lord," he prayed, "it needs rain that its tender roots may drink and swell. Send gentle showers." And the Lord sent gentle showers. "Lord," prayed the monk, "my tree needs sun. Send... Read More

Fresh Touch with God
"And the ill favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well favored and fat kin...and the thin, ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears" (Gen. 41:4, 7). There is a warning for us in that dream, just as it stands: It is possible for the best years of our life, the best experiences, th... Read More

Carry Your Cross
"Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me" (Mark 8:34). The cross which my Lord bids me take up and carry may assume different shapes. I may have to content myself with a lowly and narrow sphere, when I feel that I have capacities for much higher work.... Read More

Instant Obedience
"In the selfsame day, as God had said unto him" (Gen. 17:23). Instant obedience is the only kind of obedience there is; delayed obedience is disobedience. Every time God calls us to any duty, He is offering to make a covenant with us; doing the duty is our part, and He will do His part in special bl... Read More

Cushion of the Sea
"And the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:7) (Weymouth). There is what is called the "cushion of the sea." Down beneath the surface that is agitated by storms, and driven about with winds, there is a... Read More

Drive a Stake Down
"Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar" (Ps. 118:27). Is not this altar inviting thee? Shall we not ask to be bound to it, that we may never be able to start back from our attitude of consecration? There are times when life is full of roseate light, and we choose the Cross;...

Lessons in the Shadow
"In the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft: in his quiver hath he hid me" (Isa. 49:2). "In the shadow." We must all go there sometimes. The glare of the daylight is too brilliant; our eyes become injured, and unable to discern the delicate shades of color, or appreciate ... Read More

Patience in the Routine
"Be thou there till I bring thee word" (Matt. 2:13). "I'll stay where You've put me; I will, dear Lord, Though I wanted so badly to go; I was eager to march with the 'rank and file,' Yes, I wanted to lead them, You know. I planned to keep step to the music loud, To cheer when the banner unfurled, To... Read More

Lie Still and Trust
"I had fainted unless...!(Ps. 27:13). "FAINT NOT!" How great is the temptation at this point! How the soul sinks, the heart grows sick, and the faith staggers under the keen trials and testings which come into our lives in times of special bereavement and suffering. "I cannot bear up any longer, I a... Read More
