To feed on Christ is to get His strength into us to be our strength. You
feed on the corn field, and the strength of the corn field comes into
you, and is your strength. You feed on Christ, and then go and live
your life; and it is Christ in you that lives your life, that helps the
poor, that tells the truth, that fights the battles, and that wins the
crown.--_Phillips Brooks._

_I sought Him, but I found Him not. Song of Sol. iii.
1._
Tell me where you lost the company of Christ, and I will tell you the
most likely place to find Him. Have you lost Christ in the closet by
restraining prayer? Then it is there you must seek and find Him. Did you
lose Christ by sin? You will find Him in no other way than by the giving
up of the sin, and seeking by the Holy Spirit to mortify the member in
which the lust doth dwell. Did you lose Christ by neglecting the
Scriptures? You must find Him in the Scriptures. It is a true proverb,
"Look for a thing where you dropped it; it is there." So look for Christ
where you lost Him, for He has not gone away.--_Spurgeon._
=March 16th.=
_Come behind in no gift. 1 Cor. i. 7._
The Scripture gives four names to Christians, taken from the four
cardinal graces so essential to man's salvation: _Saints_ for their
holiness, _believers_ for their faith, _brethren_ for their love,
_disciples_ for their knowledge.--_Thomas Fuller._
=March 17th.=
_They rest not day and night. Rev. iv. 8._
O blessed rest! When we rest not day and night, saying, "Holy, holy,
holy, Lord God Almighty!"--when we shall rest from sin, but not from
worship; from suffering and sorrow, but not from joy! O blessed day,
when I shall rest with God; when I shall rest in knowing, loving,
rejoicing, and praising; when my perfect soul and body shall together
perfectly enjoy the most perfect God; when God, who is love itself,
shall perfectly love me, and rest in His love to me, and I shall rest
in my love to Him; when He shall rejoice over me with joy, and joy over
me with singing, and I shall rejoice in Him!--=Baxter.=
=March 18th.=
_They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk,
and not faint. Isa. xl. 31._
The eagle that soars in the upper air does not worry itself as to how it
is to cross rivers.--_Selected._
