This is a very consoling
and encouraging suggestion from the Word. However, the Lord’s people
are to learn more and more distinctly, as their years of membership
in God’s family and tutelage in the school of Christ go on, that
they are not to ask the Lord to guide their efforts according to
their wisdom; that they are not to request that their wills shall be
done either on earth or in heaven, but rather, telling the Lord
their burdens, great and small, they are to realize and appropriate
to themselves His sympathy and love, and to apply to their own
hearts as a balm the consoling assurances of His Word, that He is
both able and willing to make all their experiences profitable to
them, if they abide in Him with confidence and
trust. |
