August 2 – Harvest

My Lord, we seek Thy Blessing.

I love to pour My blessings down in rich, in choicest measure. But like the seed-sowing — the ground must be prepared before the seed is dropped in.

Yours to prepare the soil — Mine to drop the seed-blessing into the prepared soil.

Together we share in, and joy in, the harvest.

Spend more time in soil-preparing. Prayer fertilizes soil. There is much to do in preparation.

So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning.  Job 42:12

August 1 – Blessed Bond

Jesus, let Thy Beautiful Presence be always with us.

“I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.”

There is no bond of union on earth to compare with the union between a soul that loves Me — and Me.

Priceless beyond all earth’s imaginings is that Friendship.

In the merging of heart and mind and will a oneness results that only those who experience it can even dimly realize.

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken
 down the middle wall of partition between us.  Ephesians 2:14

January 22  – Gray Days

Be not afraid. I am your God, your Deliverer. From all evil, I will deliver you. Trust Me. Fear not.

Never forget your “Thank you.” Do you not see it is a lesson? You MUST say “Thank You” on the grayest days. You MUST do it. All cannot be light unless you do. There is gray-day practice. It is absolutely necessary.

My death upon the Cross was not only necessary to save a world, it was necessary if only to train My disciples. It was all a part of their training: My entering Jerusalem in triumph; My washing the disciples’ feet; My sorrow-time in Gethsemane; My being despised, judged, crucified, buried. Every step was necessary to their development – and so with you.

If a gray day is not one of thankfulness, the lesson has to be repeated until it is. Not to everyone is it so. But only to those who ask to serve Me well, and to do much for Me. A great work requires a great and careful training.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy 
God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold 
thee with the right hand of my righteousness. – Isaiah 41:10

November 14 – Devious Ways

Life is not easy, My children.  Man has made of it not what My Father meant it to be.

Ways that were meant to be straight paths have been made by man into ways devious and evil, filled with obstacles and stones of difficulty.

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;
I will lead them in paths  that they have not known:
I will make darkness light before them 
and crooked things straight.  Isaiah 42:16

November 13 – Every Problem Solved

Man has such strange ideas of the meaning of My invitation “Come unto Me.”  Too often has it been interpreted as an urge to pay a duty owed to a Creator or a debt owed to a Savior.

The “Come unto Me” holds in it a wealth of meaning far surpassing even that.  “Come unto Me” for the solution of every problem, for the calming of every fear, for all you need – physical, mental, spiritual.

Sick, come to Me for health.  Homeless, ask Me for a home. Friendless, claim a friend.  Hopeless, a refuge.

“Come unto Me” for everything.

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what
 things you have need of, before ye ask him.  Matthew 6:8

November 12 – The Voiceless Cry

Jesus, hear us, and let our cry come unto Thee.

That voiceless cry, that comes from anguished hearts, is heard above all the music of Heaven.

It is not the arguments of theologians that solve the problems of a questioning heart, but the cry of that heart to Me, and the certainty that I have heard.

Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto 
my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.  Psalm 17:1

November 11 – Heaven’s Colors

Looking back you will see that every step was planned.  Leave all to Me.  Each stone in the mosaic fits into the perfect pattern, designed by the Master Artist.

It is all so wonderful!

But the colors are of Heaven’s hues, so that your eyes could not bear to gaze on the whole, until you are beyond the veil.

So, stone by stone, you see, and trust the pattern to the Designer.

When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and 
when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.  Proverbs 4:12

June 16 – Seek Me Early

Walk in My Way and trust Me.  No evil can touch you.  I am yours as truly as you are Mine.  Rest in that truth.

Rest, that is, cease all struggle.  Gain a calm, strong confidence in that certainty.  Do not only rest in Me when the world’s struggles prove too much and too many for you to bear or face alone.  Rest in Me when you need perfect understanding, when you need the consciousness of tender, loving friendship and intercourse.

The world, my poor world, flies to Me when its difficulties are too great to be surmounted any other way, forgetting, or never realizing, that if, with the same eagerness, those hearts sought Me merely for companionship and loving intercourse, many of the difficulties would not arise.

The circumstances, the life, the character would be so altered – so purified, that those same difficulties would not exist.

Seek Me early, that is the way to find Me.  Early, before I get crowded out by life’s troubles, and difficulties and pleasures.

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely,

and shall be quiet from fear of evil.  Proverbs 1:33

June 15 – Glory, Glory Dawneth

I am planning for you.  Wonderful are My Ways beyond your knowledge.

Oh! realize My Bounty and My Goodness more and more.  The wonder of being led by Me!  The beauty of a guided life!

These will enter your consciousness more and more, and bring you ever more and more Joy.

You are very nearly at the point when you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.

You have entered upon a wonderful era – your lives are planned and blessed by Me as never before.

You are overcoming.  You are counting all things but loss if you can win Me.  And the promises to him that overcometh are truly wonderful, and will always be fulfilled.

When he, the Spirit of truth,
is come, he will guide you
into  all truth … he will
show you things to come.
John 16:13

June 14 – Face Today With Me

Our Lord and our God. Make us all Thou wouldst have us.

It is not circumstances that need altering first, but yourselves, and then the conditions will naturally alter.  Spare no effort to become all I would have you.  Follow every leading.  I am your only Guide.

Endeavor to put from you every thought of trouble.  Take each day, and with no backward look, face the day’s problem with Me, and seek My Help and guidance as to what you can do.

Never look back and never leave until the morrow that on which you can get My Guidance for today.

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me;
for thou art the God of my salvation;
on thee do I wait all the day.
Psalm 25:5
