_A certain man . . . who never had walked . . . heard Paul speak: who . . . perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said . . . Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. Acts xiv. 8, 9, 10._ Where true faith is, it will induce obedience and where it does induce obedience, it will always, in one form or another, bring a blessing.--_W. Hay Aitken._ =June 6th.= _Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord . . . I know that . . . whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. John xi. 21, 22, 23, 24._ Beware, in your prayer, above everything, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected things, _above all that_ we ask or think. Each time you intercede, be quiet first and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, of how He delights to hear Christ, of your place in Christ; and expect great things.--_Andrew Murray._ =June 7th.= _As many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal. iii. 27._ Not simply the righteousness of our Savior, not simply the beauty of His holiness or the graces of His character, are we to put on as a garment. The Lord Himself is our vesture. Every Christian is not only a Christ-bearer but a Christ-wearer. We are so to enter into Him by communion, to be so endued with His presence, and embued with His Spirit that men shall see Him when they behold us, as they see our garments when they look upon our bodies.--=A. J. Gordon.= =June 8th.= _Thou shalt never wash my feet. John xiii. 8._ Whatever hinders us from receiving a blessing that God is willing to bestow upon us is not humility, but the mockery of it. A genuine humility will ever feel the need of the largest measures of grace, and will be perfected just in the degree in which that grace is bestowed. The truly humble man will seek to be filled with all the fulness of God, knowing that when so filled there is not the slightest place for pride or for self.--_George Bowen._ =June 9th.= _Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. Psa. lv. 22._ He that taketh his own cares upon himself loads himself with an uneasy burden. The fear of what _may_ come, expectation of what _will_ come, desire of what will _not_ come, and the inability to redress all these, must needs bring him continual torment. _I_ will cast my cares upon _God_: He hath bidden me. They cannot hurt Him: He can redress them.--_Hall._ =June 10th.= _Well done, good and faithful servant. . . . Thou wicked and slothful servant. Matt. xxv. 21, 26._ God holds us responsible not for what we _have_, but for what we _might have_; not for what we _are_, but for what we _might_ be.--_Mark Guy Pearse._ =June 11th.=
