In these days it is impossible for a man to live without a knowledge of his Creator. His name is everywhere and stamped upon everything. This very knowledge makes it incumbent upon every man to keep in touch with his Creator, for it is the common sentiment of all mankind, and can not be ignored. The observance of every moral precept is prompted by the Creator, who “wills not that men shall perish, but that they shall live.” To turn away from Him is to lose moral character, to keep in touch with Him is to preserve it. We keep in touch with God by remembering Him. Do Not Try to Succeed Without the Help of God “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Proverbs, 3, 5. The Lord is a mighty power of strength to you, as He is to all mankind, and He invites you to make use of that strength. Human life is a poor and small thing without something to make it of great importance. That something is the Lord, and He is part of our lives, of every moment, and we can not drive Him out of it. Why? Because He created us, and will not permit one of His creations to be without help. “Not a sparrow falleth” that He does not know it, and how much more are you of interest than the sparrow? “Every hair of your head is numbered.” Some men imagine they can get along without the help of God, but they deceive themselves. When they are prosperous they forget Him, but when adversity comes, they turn to Him for succor. Are they ever refused help? Not if asked in the proper spirit. He helps you if you help yourself, and you can not voluntarily lie in a ditch and ask God to help you out. That would be presumption. By making God a part of your daily lives, taking counsel from Him and leaning upon Him for good qualities, you will be surprised at your success. You do not have to be a bigot, or a ranter; show by your example what you are and upon whom you lean for support. Do not be shamed to give the Lord as the cause of your success, the greatest men of the earth have always recognized His hand. Believe in Him faithfully and fully. To an Atheist who did not believe in God, Napoleon Bonaparte in the height of his power said: “You do not believe in God? Who made the stars?” The More a Man Gains Wisdom the Nearer He Gets to God St. Paul says: “Whether ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” There is a glory of man and a glory of God. The former is transient, but the latter is eternal, and is what all men should aim to see. “All flesh is grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away.” It is plain to every right thinking and reasoning man that we should seek that which is the best. We so act in all our business affairs, and why should we not do the same so far as our immortal souls are concerned? The kingdom of God is His glory, and seeking that first, all other things will come to you.
