The prayers of holy men appease God’s wrath, drive away temptations, resist and overcome the Devil, procure the ministry and service of angels, rescind the decrees of God. Prayer cures sickness and obtains pardon; it arrests the sun in its course and stays the wheels of the chariot of the moon; it rules over all gods and opens and shuts the storehouses of rain; it unlocks the cabinet of the womb and quenches the violence of fire; it stops the mouths of lions and reconciles our suffering and weak faculties with the violence of torment and violence of persecution; it pleases God and supplies all our need.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Does it not thrill our hearts to realize that we do not go forward in our own strength! Think of it, God Himself is with us for our Captain! The Lord of Hosts is present in Person on every field of conflict, to encourage us and fight with us. With such a Leader, who never lost a battle, or deserted a soldier in distress, or failed to get through the needed supplies, who would not accept the challenge to go forward, “bearing precious seed”?

But if the path we tread be rough and lowly; it is that in which our great Exemplar has gone before. Going down into the valley of humiliation we walk in His footsteps.

An honest, consistent, godly character, is a sermon all the week. The godly Christian–pure of heart and unspotted by the world–is the best preacher of the gospel. The revival which is most urgently needed, is a revival of practical godliness. Sunday preaching is not enough; we need more “sermons all through the week.”

O God, wake us up to Jesus, give us His passion for prayer and His passion for people.
May our needs drive us to Thee and the needs of others drive us to them.

A man is dead when he no longer resists the will of God in anything. Dead men do not resist. You must go to God as a lamb, to obey, follow and die.

It was out of His goodness that He created you, and it is out oh His goodness that He will give you everything you need at the precise moment you need it. That is providence. He will oversee your life at all times and provide for you. He is the reason that you are breathing. And He is the reason you keep breathing.
