COME AWAY MY BELOVED by Frances J. Roberts THE SECRET There's a little word that changes Darkest skies to brightest blue; There's a little word that brings the Sunlight bravely shining through. Never mind the things about you; Never mind if others frown ---- Lift your face to God and praise Him, And the blessings will come down! Praise is mightier than any army With its banners all unfurled; Praise will win the victory sooner Than all the powers of this world. For the God who ruleth all things, And the God who longs to bless Waiteth only till He heareth thee Thy love to Him confess. Beg Him not for any blessing; Tire Him not to spell thy need. This He knoweth e'er thou speak it; Stay Him not to beg and plead. Lift thy face and sing it heav'nward, From the depths within thy soul; Let His praises fill thy being, Let the shout of rapture roll. Ah! The rest will come quite easy ---- E'er thou thinkest, 'twill be done. Thou wilt know PRAISE is the answer. Thou wilt find the vict'ry won. Blessed, holy, wonderous Jesus, Heav'n in Thee to me is come! | |||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 Never keep a trouble half an hour on your own mind before you tell it to God. As soon as the trouble comes, quick, the first thing, tell it to your Father. (Charles Haddon Spurgeon) PRAY ABOUT IT: We are not often in the habit of going first to God when trouble comes. We usually allow a new arrival of a problem to fester a bit in our minds. We try to figure our way out of it --- and then if nothing is apparent, we take it to God. But God would have us get in the habit of fleeing to Him in prayer at the very onset of a problem. Watch today. If trouble arises, go first and quickly to Him. We ought to act with God in the greatest simplicity, speaking to Him frankly and plainly, and imploring His assistance in our affairs, just as they happen. (Brother Lawrence) | |||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. (John 15:1) Open wide every avenue of your being to receive the blessed influences your Divine Husbandman may bring to bear upon you. Bask in the sunshine of His love. Drink in the waters of His goodness. Keep your face upturned to Him. You need make no efforts to grow. But let your efforts instead be all concentrated on this, that you abide in the Vine. (Hannah Whitall Smith) PRAY ABOUT IT: One of the conditions that Jesus put on prayer was that we abide in Him and His words abide in us. Today, turn your face toward Him. Be planted in Him. Make no effort to grow. Growing happens naturally, not by effort. This is especially true in the spiritual life. Simply abide and pray with confidence. God will take care of the rest. The Holy Spirit reveals our needs to us. This is always the first element in prayer: a painful consciousness of failure and necessity. The Spirit of prayer is the spirit of dependence and conscious need. (A.B. Simpson) (For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. Romans 10:13) | |||
