The Bible Speaks to Me {a devotional}
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the
ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and
walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16.
The Holy One has given rules for the
guidance of every soul so that no one need miss his way. These
directions mean everything to us; for they form the standard to which
every son and daughter of Adam must conform. We can not turn aside
from any of these divine rules, and be found guiltless. We are
required to make the will of God paramount in our lives, and to have
the faith that works by love and purifies the soul. I would warn you
to keep from the dangerous ground on which your feet would naturally
be inclined to stray....
Take the Word of God, and kneeling
before God, ask, What has God spoken to me from His Word? Wait before
the Lord to learn the way in which you are to go.... You may learn of
the heavenly Teacher His meekness and lowliness of heart. In His
strength be steadfast, and stand in opposition to all that is
displeasing to God, and encourage all that is right, and pure, and
true. Live a life that Jesus, your heavenly Father, and the angelic
host can look upon with favor....
The Lord will be your helper, and if
you trust Him, will bring you up to a noble, elevated standard, and
will place your feet upon the platform of eternal truth. Through the
grace of Christ, you can make a right use of your entrusted
capabilities, and become an agent for good in winning souls to
Christ. Every talent you have should be used on the right side.
Those of the youth
Who put on the whole armor of God,
Who will devote time every day to self-examination,
Who will seek the Lord in earnest prayer, and
Who will diligently study the Scriptures,
Will have the help of the angels of God,
And will form characters that will fit them
For the society of the redeemed in the kingdom of glory.
Who put on the whole armor of God,
Who will devote time every day to self-examination,
Who will seek the Lord in earnest prayer, and
Who will diligently study the Scriptures,
Will have the help of the angels of God,
And will form characters that will fit them
For the society of the redeemed in the kingdom of glory.
