TO HIM THAT HATH, SHALL MORE BE GIVEN

TO HIM THAT HATH, SHALL MORE BE GIVEN

I was very glad to get your letter. To follow the word of God, not knowing where it would lead to, was the faith of Abram. His only comfort and sustainment was that he was following the word of One in whom he had perfect confidence, and as he followed he had strength and encouragement to follow on. A hound in the chase pursues in great zest, but he tires. No amount of taste or desire can sustain one in following any natural pursuit; but in following the Lord you are following a Person, one who not only attracts you, but who imparts to His followers power to follow, so that in following Him they gratify their taste or desire given to them by Himself; and instead of tiring they become more and more energetic and vigorous in following Him; the more they follow Him, the more does energy increase instead of flagging. To him that hath, shall more be given.
