THE LORD’S WILL

You must lie in the line of the Lord’s will in order to enjoy His favour. This line is the testimony of the Holy Spirit, it is of Him; I used to confine it too much to testimony for Him.

We should all flourish if we had our eyes on our Sun. The flowers on the earth may teach us thus. They are so affected by their sun. Their colours are bright when they have plenty of the sun, and their fragrance is in proportion. So we should have both beauty and fragrance if the eyes of our hearts were fixed on Christ. We are generally thinking of something to do; it is work of some kind that is before us. We are looking for the work to commend us, and not for the One whom Enoch studied to please; “he pleased God” by giving Him credit for His nature, that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
