THE DIVINE PATH

THE DIVINE PATH

I am very much interested in studying the divine path. It is always impossible to man. “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5: 4). When you are in the divine path, the visible and the natural do not influence you; your eye is elsewhere; you see Him who is invisible.

Eve was influenced by what she saw. We are preserved from the influence of things around us, when we are walking in faith. We are in victory over the world then. A beautiful view is to the glory of the Creator, but if it diverts me from doing my duty as Christ’s servant, it is evident that I am overcome by it. Hence as I am in faith, I am not looking for guidance by circumstances, though they be of God’s providence, but when in faith I am led by Him; and then the circumstances are at best only subsidiary. It would be a wonderful life to be ever in faith; not influenced by the visible, overcoming the world, the heart resting in the Son of God.
