It makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action. Believers who know one-tenth as much as we do are doing one-hundred times more for God, with His blessing and our criticism. Oh if I could write it, preach it, say it, paint it, anything at all, if only God's power would become known among us.

If we are the sheep of His pasture, remember that sheep are headed for the altar.

God, I pray light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn up for thee.

Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on earth!

I do not know how to make a man think seriously about sin and judgment, and must look to the work of the Holy Spirit for any hint of such a working.

God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus.

Ps 119:89-91: The settled Word in Heaven makes for a solid foundation on earth and a safe path for today.
