FEBRUARY 23
I will instruct thee and
teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with
mine eye—Psa.32:8. |
One of the most
important lessons for the spiritual Israelite to learn is to look to
the Lord for leading in all of life’s affairs—never to attempt any
undertaking, either temporal or spiritual, without seeking to note
the will of the Lord concerning the same.... We are marching toward
Canaan and know that other experiences are due us and must be
undergone ere we are to inherit the promises. The lesson for us is
prompt and thorough obedience to the Lord’s leadings without
murmurings—with joyfulness; and this can only be expected on the
part of those who have learned the lessons previously given them,
and above all the lesson of faith, confidence in the Lord’s power
and goodness and
faithfulness. |
