Whatever it is that enables a soul, whom God designs to bless, to stand out against Him, God will touch. It may be the pride of wealth, or of influence, or of affection; but it will not be spared--God will touch it. It may be something as _natural_ as a sinew; but if it robs a man of spiritual blessing God will touch it. It may be as _small_ a thing as a sinew; but its influence in making a man strong in his resistance of blessing will be enough to condemn it--and God will touch it. And beneath that touch it will shrink and shrivel, and you will limp to the end of life. Remember that the sinew never shrinks save beneath the touch of the angel hand--the touch of tender love.--_F. B. Meyer._ =November 29th.= _With God all things are possible. Mark x. 27._ Unbelief says, "How can such and such things be?" It is full of "hows"; but faith has one great answer to the ten thousand "hows," and that answer is--GOD!--_C. H. M._ =November 30th.= _Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them. 2 Cor. vi. 16._ These temples were reared for Him. Let Him fill them so completely that, like the oriental temple of glass in the ancient legend, the temple shall not be seen, but only the glorious sunlight, which not only shines into it, but through it, and the transparent walls are all unseen.--_A. B. Simpson._ [Illustration: DECEMBER] =December 1st.= _Without Christ. Eph. ii. 12._ Without a hope to cheer, a Pilot to steer, a Friend to counsel, grace to sustain, heaven to welcome us, and God to console!--_Selected._ =December 2nd.= _When I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Cor. xii. 10._ This is God's way. We advance by going backwards, we become strong by becoming weak, we become wise by being fools.--_F. Whitfield._ =December 3rd.= _Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Pet. i. 21._
