to receive this glorious God, and I bow and worship. And then as I
believe this, I look up and I see the Lamb upon the Throne, and I
believe that the Almighty power of God is in Jesus for the very purpose
of revealing His presence to my heart. Why are there two upon the
Throne? Is not God enough? The Lamb of God is upon the Throne in your
interest and in mine; the Lamb upon the Throne is Christ Himself, with
power as God to take possession of me. Oh, do not think you cannot get
that realization. And do not think of it as now only within your reach;
but cultivate the habit of faith. "Jesus, I believe in Thy glory; I
believe in Thine omnipotence; I believe in Thy power working within me.
I believe in Thy living, loving presence with me, revealing itself in
Divine power."
Do not be occupied with feelings or experiences. You will find it far
simpler and easier just to trust and say, "I am sure He is all for me."
Get rid of yourself for the time; don't think or speak about yourself;
but
_Think what Jesus is._
And then remember it is believe always. I sometimes feel that I cannot
find words to tell how God wants His people to believe from morning till
night. Every breath ought to be just believing. Yes, it is indeed true;
the Lord Jesus loves us to be just believing from morning to evening,
and you must begin to make that the chief thing in life. In the morning
when you wake, let your heart go forth with a large faith in this; and
in the watches of the night let this thought be present with you--my
Saviour Jesus is round me and near me, and you can look up and say, "I
want to trust Thee always." You know what trust is. It is so sweet to
trust. And now cannot you trust Jesus; this presence, this keeping
presence? He lives for you in Heaven. You are marked with His blood, and
he loves you; and cannot you say, "My King, my King, He is with me all
the days?" Oh, trust Jesus to fulfill His own promises.
There is a second answer that I think Christ would give if we come to
Him believing, and say, "Is there anything more, my blessed Master?" I
think I can hear His answer:
"_My child, always obey._"
