STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN

Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against
Me unless it had been given you from above."
(John 19:11)

Nothing that is not part of God's will is allowed to come
into the life of someone who trusts and obeys Him. This
truth should be enough to make our life one of ceaseless
thanksgiving and joy, because God's will is the most
hopeful, pleasant, and glorious thing in the world. It is
the continuous working of His omnipotent power for our
benefit, with nothing to prevent it if we remain surrendered
and believing.
Someone who was passing through the deep water of
affliction wrote a friend:
Isn't it glorious to know that no matter how unjust
something may be, even when it seems to have come
from Satan himself, by the time it reaches us it is God's
will for us and will ultimately work to our good?

"And we know that in all things God works for the good
of those who love Him" (Romans 8:28). Think of what
Christ said even as He was betrayed: "Shall I not drink
the cup the Father has given Me?" (John 18:11).
We live fascinating lives if we are living in the center of
God's will. All the attacks that Satan hurls at us through
the sins of others are not only powerless to harm us but
are transformed into blessings along the way.
(Hannah Whitfall Smith)

In the center of the circle
Of the will of God I stand:
There can come no second causes,
All must come from His dear hand.
All is well! for it's my Father
Who my life has planned.

Shall I pass through waves of sorrow?
Then I know it will be best;
Though I cannot tell the reason,
I can trust, and so am blest.
God is Love, and God is faithful.
So in perfect Peace I rest.

With the shade and with the sunshine,
With the joy and with the pain,
Lord, I trust You! both are needed,
Each Your wayward child to train,
Earthly loss, if we will know it,
Often means our heavenly gain. (I.G.W.)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

Likewise, you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed
to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:11

God never ceases to speak to us: but the noise of the
world without, and the tumult of our passions within,
bewilder us and prevent us from listening to Him.
(Francois Fenelon)

PRAY ABOUT IT: It's hard to know which is more
distracting to our prayers --- the pull of the world with
its distractions or the tug of our own passions to fulfill
their every desire.
But in the middle of it all is the voice of God speaking to
us, quite loudly actually. Listen to Him today --- reckon
yourself alive to God and dead to the world and to your
flesh.

The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with
praying. (E.M. Bounds)

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.
