Am I willing to trade my addiction to the world’s entertainment for more time with my Bible?
“Blessed is the man . . . whose delight is the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night.” (Psalm 1.1-2)

No one whose senses have been exercised to know good and evil but must grieve over the sight of zealous souls seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit while they are yet living in a state of moral carelessness or borderline sin. Such a things is a moral contradiction. Whoever would be filled and indwell by the Spirit should first judge his life for any hidden iniquities; he should courageously expel from his heart everything which is out of accord with the character of God as revealed by the Holy Scriptures.

That’s the excitement in obedience – finding out later what God had in mind.

The world cries for men who are strong: strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer. I pray you will be that kind of man, glad that God made you a man, glad to shoulder the burden of manliness in a time when to do so will often bring contempt.

Keep as far as you can from those temptations that feed and strengthen the sins which you would overcome. Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out, by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life.

God never asks us to do anything we can do. He asks us to live a life which we can never live and to do a work which we can never do. . . . Self is the only obstruction to that life and to that work. May we each one pray from our hearts: “O Lord, deal with me!”

How infinitely blessed it is to be entirely Christ’s. To think that you and I are never to have another care or another fear, but that Jesus has undertaken simply everything for us! And isn’t it grand to have the privilege of being His instruments? It does seem such loving condescension that He should use us.
