STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN

Offer yourselves to God, as those who have been
brought from death to life. (Romans 6:13)

One night I went to hear a sermon on consecration.
Nothing special came to me from the message, but as
the preacher knelt to pray, he said, "O Lord, You know
we can trust the Man who died for us." That was my
message. As I rose from my knees and walked down the
street to catch the train, I deeply pondered all that
consecration would mean to my life. I was afraid as I
considered the personal cost, and suddenly, above the
noise of the street traffic, came the message; "You
can trust the Man who died for you." I boarded the
train, and as I traveled toward home, I thought of the
changes, sacrifices, and disappointments that
consecration might mean in my life --- and I was still
afraid.
Upon arriving home, I went straight to my room, fell on
my knees and saw my life pass before my eyes. I was
a Christian, an officer in the church, and a Sunday school
superintendent, but I had never yielded my life to God
with a definite act of my will. Yet as I thought of my own
"precious" plans that might be thwarted, my beloved
hopes to be surrendered, and my chosen profession
that I might have to abandon --- I was afraid.
I completely failed to see the better things God had for
me, so my soul was running from Him. And then for
the last time, with a swift force of convicting power to
my inmost heart, came that searching message: "My
child, you can trust the Man who died for you. If you
cannot trust Him, then whom can you trust?" Finally
that settled it for me, for in a flash of light I realized that
the Man who loved me enough to die for me could be
absolutely trusted with the total concerns of the life He
had saved.
Dear friend, you can trust the Man who died for you.
You can trust Him to thwart each plan that should be
stopped and to complete each one that results in His
greatest glory and your higher good. You can trust Him
to lead you down the path that is the very best in this
world for you. J.H.M.

Just as I am, Thy love unknown,
Has broken every barrier down,
Now to be Thine, yea,Thine ALONE,
O Lamb of God, I come!

Life is not wreckage to be saved out of the world but
an investment to be used in the world.

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True
Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: "I know
your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish
you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My
mouth. (Revelation 3:14-16)

Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God
will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless services
shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will
be dumb. (Thomas Brooks)

PRAY ABOUT IT: Many of us were taught to pray by
rote as a child. As a result, sometimes we still rattle off
our requests in an almost detached manner. If we would have the living God answer, our prayers must be living
prayers.
Today, speak living prayers to God, from a heart that's
alive to Him.

When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without
words than thy words without heart. (John Bunyan)

STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN

Because you have done this and have not withheld your
son, your only son, I will . . . make your descendants as
numerous as the stars in the sky . . . because you have
obeyed Me. (Genesis 22:16-18)

From the time of Abraham, people have been learning
that when they obey God's voice and surrender to Him
whatever they hold most precious, He multiplies it
thousands of times. Abraham gave up his one and only
son at the Lord's command, and in doing so, all his
desires and dreams for Isaac's life, as well as his own
hope for a notable heritage, disappeared. Yet God
restored Isaac to his father, and Abraham's family
became "as numerous as the stars in the sky and as
sand on the seashore" (vs.17). And through his
descendants, "when the time had fully come, God sent
His Son" (Gal.4:4).
This is exactly how God deals with every child of His
when we truly sacrifice. We surrender everything we own and accept poverty --- then He sends wealth. We leave
a growing area of ministry at His command --- then He
provides one better than we had ever dreamed. We
surrender all our cherished hopes and die to self --- then
He sends overflowing joy and His "life . . . that [we] might
have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).
The greatest gift of all was Jesus Christ Himself, and
we can never fully comprehend the enormity of His
sacrifice. Abraham, as the earthly father of the family of
Christ, had to begin by surrendering himself and his only
son, just as our heavenly Father sacrificed His only Son,
Jesus. We could never have come to enjoy the privileges
and joys as members of God's family through any other
way. (Charles Gallaudet Trumbull)
We sometimes seem to forget that what God takes from us, He takes with fire, and that the only road to a life of
resurrection and ascension power leads us first to
Gethsemane, the cross and the tomb.
Dear soul, do you believe that Abraham's experience
was unique and isolated? It is only an example and a
pattern of how God deals with those who are prepared to
obey Him whatever the cost. "After waiting patiently,
Abraham received what was promised" (Heb. 6:15), and
so will you. The moment of your greatest sacrifice will
also be the precise moment of your greatest and most
miraculous blessing. God's river, which never runs dry,
will overflow its banks, bringing you a flood of wealth and
grace.
Indeed, there is nothing God will not do for those who
will dare to step out in faith onto what appears to be only
a mist. As they take their first step, they will find a rock
beneath their feet. (F.B. Meyer)
