When Sight Ceases, It Is The Time

If Honest Of Heart And Uprightness Before God Were Lacking Or If I Did Not Patiently Wait On God For Instruction, Or If I Preferred The Counsel Of My Fellow-men To The Declarations Of The Word Of God, I Made Great Mistakes.

A Servant Of God Has But One Master. It Ill Becomes The Servant To Seek To Be Rich, And Great, And Honored In That World Where His Lord Was Poor, And Mean, And Despised.

It Is A Common Temptation Of Satan To Make Us Give Up The Reading Of The Word And Prayer When Our Enjoyment Is Gone; As If It Were Of No Use To Read The Scriptures When We Do Not Enjoy Them, And As If It Were Of No Use To Pray When We Have No Spirit Of Prayer...

It Is Not Enough To Begin To Pray, Nor To Pray Aright; Nor Is It Enough To Continue For A Time To Pray; But We Must Patiently, Believingly, Continue In Prayer Until We Obtain An Answer; And Further We Have Not Only To Continue In Prayer Unto The End, But We Have Also To Believe That God Does Hear Us, And Will Answer Our Prayers. Most Frequently We Fail In Not Continuing In Prayer Until The Blessing Is Obtained, And In Not Expecting The Blessing.

Every Instance Of Obedience, From Right Motives, Strengthens Us Spiritually, Whilst Every Act Of Disobedience Weakens Us.
