Christian! rest not until thou knowest the full, the unbroken shining of God in thy heart. To this end, yield to every stirring of it that shows thee some unconquered and perhaps unconquerable evil. Just bring it to the light; let the light shine upon it, and shine it out. Wait upon the Lord more than watchers for the morning, for "the path of the just is as the shining light, shining more and more unto the perfect day." Count upon it that God wants to fill thee with the light of His glory: wait on Him more than watchers for the morning. "Wait, I say, on the Lord."--_Andrew Murray._ =April 14th.= _My soul, wait thou only upon God. Psa. lxii. 5._ Did it ever occur to you that if you do not hear God's answer to prayer, it may be not because He is dumb, but because you are deaf; not because He has no answer to give, but because you have not been listening for it? We are so busy with our service, so busy with our work, and sometimes so busy with our praying, that it does not occur to us to stop our own talking and listen if God has some answer to give us with "the still small voice"; to be passive, to be quiet, to do nothing, say nothing, in some true sense think nothing; simply to be receptive and waiting for the voice. "Wait thou only upon God," says the Psalmist; and again "Wait on the Lord."--_Selected._ =April 15th.= _Could ye not watch with me one hour? Matt. xxvi. 40._ Oh! ye who sigh and languish, and mourn your lack of power, Heed ye this gentle whisper, "Could ye not watch one hour?" To fruitfulness and blessing, there is no "royal road"; The power for holy service is intercourse with God. --_Selected._ =April 16th.= _My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me. John iv. 34._ Seek your life's nourishment in your life's work.--_Phillips Brooks._ =April 17th.= _It is God which worketh in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Phil. ii. 13._ Full salvation is to realize that everything we see in Christ, our Example, may be ours, not by imitation, but by reproduction.--_Selected._ =April 18th.= _Lo, I am with you all the days. Matt, xxviii. 20. (R. V., margin.)_ "ALL THE DAYS"--in winter days, when joys are fled; in sunless days, when the clouds return again and again after rain; in days of sickness and pain; in days of temptation and perplexity, as much as in days when the heart is as full of joy as the woodlands in spring are full of song. That day never comes when the Lord Jesus is not at the side of His saints. Lover and friend may stand afar, but He walks with them through the fires; He fords with them the rivers; He stands by them when face to face with the lion. We can never be alone. We must always add His resources to our own when making our calculations.--_F. B. Meyer._ =April 19th.=
