Obedience

The most foolish person in the world is the one who has the opportunity to read, absorb, digest, live in, be immersed in worship-reading the Bible, but doesn’t do it because of PREOCCUPATION with other things of this world.

Do you desire to subdue sin?  Would you be holy?  Would you imitate your Master?  Do you desire to rise to superlative heights of spirituality?  Are you wanting to be made like the angels of God, full of zeal and ardor for the Master’s cause?  You cannot without the Spirit: “Without Me you can do nothing.”  Oh branch of the vine, you can have no fruit without the sap!  Oh child of God, you have no life within you apart from the life which God gives you through His Spirit!

Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish for spiritual things then it is sin for you, however, innocent it may be in itself.

Never read God’s will concerning you without honestly giving up yourself to do it at once, and asking grace to do so.  God has given us His Word, to tell us what He wants us to do and what grace He has provided to enable us to do it: how sad to think it a pious thing just to read that Word without any earnest effort to obey it!  May God keep us from this terrible sin!  Let us make it a sacred habit to say to God, ‘Lord, whatever I know to be Thy will, I will at once obey.‘ Ever read with a heart yielded up in willing obedience.
