Preparing God's Word for your heart
“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”
Isaiah 40:8
More courage is required when coming to grips with the commonplace problems of the ordinary day than is required to face batteries of destruction on a field of military conflict.
It is much easier to follow on the track of the heroic than to remain true to Jesus in drab mean streets. Human nature unaided by God cannot do it.
The follower of Jesus is a laborer—but a laborer together with God. He is a man with a hoe—but one who has his part in the harvest whose reapers are the angels.
This is the place where Thou didst bid me stand; And work and wait; I thought it was a plot of fertile land, To tend and cultivate: Flowers and fruit, I said, are surely there, In rich earth stored, And I will make of it a garden fair, For Thee, my Lord!
Lo! it is set where only bleak skies frown, With rank weeds sown, And over it the vagrant thistle-down Like dust is blown;
Long have I labored, but the barren soil No crop will yield: This have I won for all my ceaseless toil— A bare plowed field!
Nay, even here, where thou didst strive and weep, Some sunny morn Others shall come with joyous hearts and reap The full-eared corn; Yet is their harvest to thy labor due; On Me ’twas spent— Are not the furrows driven straight and true? Be thou content!
He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.—I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Stand . . . having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.—The Lord is with thee, . . . Go in this thy might.
