O my soul, is not this enough? Dost thou need more strength than the omnipotence of the united Trinity? Dost thou want more wisdom than exists in the Father, more love than displays itself in the Son, or more power than is manifest in the influences of the Spirit? Bring hither thine empty pitcher! Surely this well will fill it. Haste, gather up thy wants, and bring them here--thine emptiness, thy woes, thy needs. Behold, this river of God is full for thy supply; what canst thou desire beside? Go forth, my soul, in this thy might. The eternal God is thine helper!--_Spurgeon._ =February 18th.= _To every man his work. Mark xiii. 34._ He does the most for God's great world who does the best in his own little world.--_Selected._ =February 19th.= _Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. John xxi. 10._ Why was this? Oh, the Lord wants us to minister to Him as well as to receive from Him, and our service finds its true end when it becomes food for our dear Lord. He was pleased to feed on their fish while they were feeding on His. It was the double banquet of which He speaks in the tender message of revelation, "I will sup with him, and he with Me."--_A. B. Simpson._ =February 20th.= _By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed. Heb. xi. 8._ Whither he went, he knew not; it was enough for him to know that he went with God. He leant not so much upon the promises as upon the Promiser. He looked not on the difficulties of his lot, but on the King, eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, who had deigned to appoint his course, and would certainly vindicate Himself. O glorious faith! This is thy work, these are thy possibilities: contentment to sail with sealed orders, because of unwavering confidence in the love and wisdom of the Lord High Admiral: willinghood to rise up, leave all, and follow Christ, because of the glad assurance that earth's best cannot bear comparison with heaven's least.--_F. B. Meyer._ =February 21st.= _The Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed. 1 Sam. ii. 3._ God does not _measure_ what we bring to Him. He _weighs_ it.--_Mark Guy Pearse._ =February 22nd.= _After ye were illuminated ye endured a great fight of afflictions. Heb. x. 32._ Our boldness for God _before the world_ must always be the result of individual dealing with God _in secret_. Our victories over self, and sin, and the world, are always first fought where no eye sees but God's. . . . If we have not these _secret_ conflicts, well may we not have any _open_ ones. The _outward_ absence of conflict betrays the _inward_ sleep of the soul.--_F. Whitfield._ =February 23d.= _Philip findeth Nathaniel and saith unto him, We have found Him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write. . . . Come and see. John i. 45, 46._
