The Stroke of God
Struck Dumb Struck dumb by God! how cruel seem the words And yet thrice blest the heart where falls the blow for life transformed is his who suffers thus, For it is given only such to know The rapture of the mighty wings of faith Which elevate the soul to realms above, Where pain is sweet and wounds...

The Unfolding Purpose of the Lord
The Lord has satisfied our spiritual hunger to some extent. No one of us should be satisfied, but holding our spirit before the Lord, seeking more.

The Value of His Dealings
"For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren" Rom 8:29. Our being predestinated is related to the foreknowledge of God. He chose us because in foreknowledge He knew that we would choose Him and submit ... Read More

Trouble -- A Servant
Did you ever test yourself as to how you react to trouble or tragedy? In life's school we often find that God uses trouble or misfortune to prove our faith or to test our character. Trouble has a way of stalking down the road and meeting us so many times when we least expect it. I am sure we all kno... Read More

Truth
I have given out plenty of Truth, and yet some say, "Oh, give us more." What have you done with what I have already given? You enjoy the Truth, but sometimes there is a fascination in its revelation that bewitches you, and you want to know more about that, but you don't want to know about the power ... Read More

Types
There are no non-essentials in God's Word. The Word is full of types, symbols, Pictures; all have deep, peculiar, spiritual meaning. The Tabernacle in the wilderness is a revelation of Truth -- an object lesson of spiritual Truth. It is the revelation of Christ and His redemptive work; the story of ... Read More

Understanding His Ways
There are three questions that Christians often ask. First, there are those who are always concerned about the time element in the Lord's dealings with them. For example, the Lord may have indicated that He intends to do something, and it appears to them that they should have it right now. They begi... Read More

Vision
The world is geared so that it wants everything done right now. But you can't do the work of God that way. We need perspective in our thinking; in our studying; in our approach to God. I am so thankful for what I call perspective in my vision of Truth. I know now His purpose, and only as I look away... Read More

Waiting Upon God
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."--Isaiah 40:31. This is a very familiar promise, and one which most of us have delighted to repeat as a comfort and means of s... Read More

What Would You Do With Your Second Choice?
I believe the Lord has laid on my heart a message of encouragement. So I would like to talk to all those who have problems and difficult matters to settle. While we should all be spiritually minded and inclined, we should be able at the same time to translate that which is of spiritual value into ma... Read More

Will of God
The highest expression of our spiritual life is, in the last analysis, back again to God. That is what we were made for. In the pattern and design for our living, God said He made us in His OWN IMAGE and LIKENESS. We were created for His glory and His pleasure - all things were created for this. We,... Read More

Word
Oh, the majestic, untouched will of God moving down through the ages! When we move in the will of God, it answers the thousands of questions we may ever have. The most marvelous prayer we can ever pray is: "Have your way. Thy will be done. Speak, Lord, thy servant heareth Thee. Bring me the intimati... Read More

Worship and Praise
In true worship, we become detached from self and are lifted by the Spirit into the realm for which we were created, to worship and adore God. In real adoration, there are only three words which can be used in English, "worthy, worthy, worthy;" "glory, glory, glory," and "holy, holy, holy." Worship ... Read More

Worship Then and Now
Isn't it nice when we do things in the Spirit without being told: "Now we will lift our hands etc..." No, lift them in the Spirit when He lifts them. Worship isn't conducted by machinery; it is born of the Spirit. It is not mechanical, but uplifting, and ascending to God; to a holy God -- holy, holy... Read More
