None but the Hungry Heart

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him" (Ps. 37:7).

The difference between knowing the Lord Jesus as Savior and knowing Him as Life, is the better part of a lifetime; even for the hungriest of hearts. "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (

But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Cor. 3:18).

As the plant to the sun, we look to the Son for growth!

"What is the good of a man being...

They who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ" (Rom. 5:17).

Law and grace are separated by the infinite chasm of the Cross. Law required right conduct first, with earthly position to be earned thereby. Grace gives heavenly position immediately, which...

But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19).

If and when the trial comes, you will find Him waiting there.

"We should always be prepared for circumstances that will arise, and for blessings that are to come, without...

[God] hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:6).

There aren't many truly happy Christians simply because there aren't many who really abide in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our risen Lord is the source of our happiness as we rest in Him - triumphant over...

God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye, always having all sufficiency, may abound to every good work" (2 Cor. 9:8).

Suffering takes us in condition where truth has us in position.

"We will never learn any truth in experience excepting in the deepening knowledge...

Hath made us alive together with Christ" (Eph. 2:5).

If we fail to rely upon the Holy Spirit for the practical day-by-day realization of the identification truths, we will fall short of Romans 8, and find ourselves bound in the struggle of Romans 7.

"If some of you who have been...

Let the peace of God rule in your hearts" (Col. 3:15).

Peace does not, and cannot, exist in the fallen Adam life; and as long as the old man reigns within, there is going to be turmoil both within and without. The path of the Cross is alone the path of peace. "The moment came when the Lord Jesus could say, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you' (

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ" (Phil. 3:7).

Our Father has many reasons for administering trial - all good. Trial teaches us the futility of the old life, and the faithfulness of the Lord Jesus - our new life.

"The Christian suffers the same...

He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him. . . take up his Cross daily" (Luke 9:23).

We go all the way to Calvary in faith and there find ourselves identified with the Lord Jesus in His death and resurrection. And Calvary comes all the way to us in experience as the Holy Spirit applies that...

Rejoice in the Lord always!" (Phil. 4:4)

Exhaustive effort brings home the necessity of strengthening rest. The believer will not be ready to enter into his spiritual rest until he is utterly worn out by his unsuccessful efforts to conquer sin and the old man. There is no rest for the "wretched man" of Romans 7 -...

Waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 1:7; 8).

We can trust Him for our matriculation here, and we can trust Him for our...

As ye have, therefore, received Christ Jesus as Lord, so walk ye in Him, rooted and built up in Him" (Col. 2:7).

We appreciate His benefits toward us, but are we appreciative - do we express to Him our appreciation?

"Let us be very watchful that the inner life, communion with the...

I have learned, in whatever state I am, in this to be content" (Phil. 4:11).

All we have to do is love the Lord Jesus - that will take us through all the fire necessary to conform us to His image.

"Hopes have precarious life; They are oft blighted, withered, snapped sheer off In...
