TODAY'S EXCERPT:

What are life's unnumber'd cares
Sorrow, torment, passing measure?
O'er my short-lived pains and fears
Surely ruleth Thy good pleasure.
Boundless is Thy Love for me
Boundless then my trust shall be.

from a Hymn the first line of which begins: Love of love and Light of light.

The surrender to a full obedience to all His will is the secret to full access to all the blessings of His fellowship.

From Waiting On God chapter 12 by Andrew Murray. The text for this chapter was Psalm 37:34 - Wait on (or, 'with') the LORD and keep His Way and He shall exalt you to inherit the land... (KJV).

You must be crucified not only in desires and habits which are sinful but in many more which appear innocent and right.

From entry from Streams in the Desert for 21st September which was itself taken from 'In the Hour of Silence'. The text for this entry was Philippians 3:8 - I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord (KJV).

Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia!
who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
our salvation have procured, Alleluia!
now above the sky he's King, Alleluia!
where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!

Easter Hymn (Lyra Davidica, 1708;

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 PETER 5 (KJV)

JESUS CHRIST PROMISES:

Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Mat 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
