He spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how shall He not with him freely give us all things' (Romans 8:32)? How is it imaginable that God should withhold, after this, spirituals or temporals, from His people? How shall He not call them effectually, justify them freely, sanctify them thoroughly, and glorify them eternally? How shall He not clothe them, feed them, protect and deliver them? Surely if He would not spare this own Son one stroke, one tear, one groan, one sigh, one circumstance of misery, it can never be imagined that ever He should, after this, deny or withhold from His people, for whose sakes all this was suffered, any mercies, any comforts, any privilege, spiritual or temporal, which is good for them.

I have been up since 2 a.m. and have thoroughly enjoyed His presence.  I thought since I usually respond but seldom if ever offer a word of encouragement on my own, uninitiated by some subject,I would throw this out there early in the morning.  (It is now 6:50 a.m.)

 

We will all meet several people today.  In each one of these "meetings" we have an opportunity to reveal the Christ in us or the old dead man we so often carry with us.  I for one know when my, "old man",  has spoken, there is no life in the words nor does it bring life to the hearer.

 

I am challenged today to make an effort to identify each "meeting" I have with my fellow human beings, and acertain what theWord of the Lord might be for each that I "meet" with.  Not that I am seeking a prophetic word, but more  a Word from the heart of Christ within me, confirmed by scripture.  I wonder now how many people I met yesterday, not realizing at the moment that I just had a devine appointment and missed the opportunity to "aknowledge Him" before men.  Join me brothers, Let' us make this a day in which we "let our light shine before men", and see what the testimonies will be tomarrow as we make oursleves available to the Holy Spirit and His plans for those we meet today.  D.C.
