March 7 – How Firm Your Foundation

As one in a storm needs to dwell in quiet thought upon the firmness of the foundation of his home, so you need in dangers and difficulties of whatever kind to withdraw, and in quiet assurance dwell upon that foundation upon which the house of your life and character is built.

Rest your thoughts on this, on Me. Do not dwell on the channels through which My Help may be directed to you. To do so is indeed to feel at the mercy of wind and the weather. You can draw no strength from such.

No, a sense of security can only come from relying on Me, the All-powerful, the Unchanging.

Security engenders Strength, then Peace, then Joy.

“Other foundations can no man lay.”

March 6 – Your Circle Widens

As the circle of your life widens you will feel ever more and more the need of Me. The need indeed to draw from My unfailing resources to gain the help and wisdom required to deal with these new contacts.

Do not refuse them, only let nothing idle or of little worth engross your attention.

As your circle is enlarged, your means to deal with it adequately must grow too.

This is My desire. Ever walk with Me. Learn of Me. Witness for Me, Glorify Me.

March 4 – To The Water’s Edge

As God was in the days of Moses, so is He today. Responsive to the prayer of faith. Still ready and willing to make a path through the Red Sea.

Have the faith of Moses, who never faltered in his trust, even with the sea before, the advancing host behind, and no visible way of escape. To the very edge of the waters he led his people.

His task was done. It was for God, his God, in whom he trusted, to act now. Moses waited for, and expected, that act. But to the edge he had to go.

How often man draws back, halts at the thought of the troubled sea ahead. To go further is useless, he says, and gives up.

Or he goes within sight of the sea, and pauses. He must go on, always as far as he can; he must do all his share. God will not. On –to the Edge of the Sea.

Learn from this a mighty lesson. Do all your work, and leave your salvation to God. To say it will be no good is not to go to the edge, and that is to miss the saving Power of God.

The waters shall be divided, and you shall walk through the midst of the sea on dry land. I have said it. I, the Lord. Have I not done this for so many in your own day? For you? Think on these things.

February 28 – The Simple Life

The Gift of Eternal Life is a most precious one.  Each one who receives it must demonstrate by Joy and Trust and radiancy of Spirit, expressed in being and in bearing, the quality of the Life he possesses.

The other life is existence — just not death.

Power and Joy must radiate from you.  These are the expressions of Eternal Life.  Life Eternal is to know the Father and Me, His Son, Whom He sent.

“God so Loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting (i.e., Eternal) Life.”

Directly that Life is possessed by a man, all that is not simple, child-like has to go.

Not by complicated devices is My work accomplished.

My followers must be simple and direct.  “Let your yea be yea and your nay be nay,”  I said.

Simplicity Is forceful.  Simplicity Is great .  It Is a conquering Power.

UP-HILL

Does the road wind up-hill all the way?

Yes, to the very end.

Will the journey take the whole long day?

From morn to night, my friend.

February 27 – My Tireless Search

Share with Me the tireless search for the lost, the ache of disappointment, the sublime courage, the tenderness of complete forgiveness.  Share the Joys, the sorrows, the Love, the scorn.

I walk the lakeside still, and pause, as, to one and another, I utter the same call I uttered in Galilee , “Come and I will make you fishers of men.”

February 25 – The War Within

And he was dumb, because he believed not.

There is physical correspondence to faith and to doubt.

Especially is this so among those who would serve Me.  For unlike others, they are not so controlled by the law of physical success or failure, but are under the direct control of the Laws of My Kingdom.

So, in many cases, you may note good health in one ignorant of Me, and ill-health in one of My followers, until he has learned the full control of the physical by the Spiritual.  In his case the warring of  physical and Spiritual may cause physical ill-health, or unrest.

So do not fret about the physical side, aim increasingly at control by My Spirit.

February 24 – Always Antagonism

And He passing through the midst of them.

Face evil undaunted, and it will fall back, and let you pass on and do your work for Me.

The maddened crowd had sought to cast Me headlong, but they made way for Me, and through their midst I passed unhindered.

Do not be surprised to find antagonism where you meet evil, because you are a home of My Spirit, and it is My Spirit that arouses the antagonism.  Go on your way so quietly, and trust in Me.

In My Strength My follower need not flinch, but, boldly facing evil, will overcome evil with good.

You follow the dauntless Christ.

February 23 – Conquering And To Conquer

Always seek some conquest, for spiritual growth requires it.  In the natural world you see how necessary this striving is, and in the mental and spiritual worlds there must be struggle too.

So, as you go forward in your spiritual life, you will see always a fresh conquest demanding your effort.

Shun stagnation.  Never be discouraged if always you see some fault requiring to be overcome, some obstacle to be surmounted.

Thus you go forth with Me conquering and to conquer.

February 22 – Wonder-Work

All work with Me is wonder-work.  God working in and through man.  This should be the normal work of every Christian’s day.  For this I came to earth, to show man this could be.

For this I left the earth, so that this should be.  Can life offer anything more for you than that you fulfill in yourselves My expectations for My disciples?

Satan frustrates My plan by whispering to My followers a mock humility in which they trace not his evil hand — “They are too weak, too small, too unimportant to do much . . . ”

Away with false humility, which limits not you but Me.  Mine is the Power.

February 21 – Wise As Serpents

Each servant of Mine should regard himself as an outpost for My Truths, where he must be prepared to receive My Messages, and to signal them on.  This is work of great importance in My Kingdom.

Wherever you go make Me known.  That was My Risen injunction, My Commission.  Wherever you go establish outposts of My Empire, make contacts for Me.  Make Me known to men — sometimes by speech, sometimes in silence.
