DAILY MIGHT #8--AUGUSTGP 826August 1"Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but God's Word will never pass away!" (Mt.24:35)
In especially trying times, you should live more in the Word.--You must put your faith in the Word! It doesn'tmatter if everybody in the whole world backslides, if everybody in the whole world goes haywire, if the whole Heavens andthe whole Earth pass away, you'll still keep going for God if your faith is in the Word!--No matter
what
happens, you willstill stand if you keep on God's firm foundation of faith, balanced firmly with His Words.I can fail, you can fail, the whole world can fail. But God's Word will
never
fail!--When everything is in chaos andit seems like all is confusion and stormy, real stormy, retreat into the Word!--"Faith cometh by hearing the Word!"(Rom.10:17) Often if it were not for that spark of faith, you'd just flicker out! It's like God blowing on the little ember, and bringing it back to life again! It comes so much through hearing the Word!--His Word is always a comfort and the voice of His Spirit is always an encouragement in the hour of greatest trial, even when everything seems to have gone wrong andyou're in danger, trouble or distress.Isn't it wonderful to have God's Word for our encouragement!--Thank God for the comfort of His cleansing Word!527:4666:18 -- 527:46; 739:6 -- 309B:44527:45 -- 399:62 -- 66:18,12 -- 581:31155:5 -- 581:38
August 2"Even more than the milk of the mother to the baby which is thirsty, am I unto thee."
The baby deliberately, when he sucks, creates a vacuum inside his mouth which pulls the milk out of his mother's breast.--"So shall
My
bosom satisfy thee with the milk of My Word to the strengthening of thy sinews in the Spirit!" -- Butyou have to first create a vacuum inside your heart: "Lord, here is this empty space--You fill it!"--"For I am He that fillethall things, to pour out upon the thirsty ground, to beautify the lowly life, to enlighten the darkened minds."--(A picture of very hard, dry ground:) Every crack in the parched earth was one of His children opening wide to drink the Water of HisWord. But the water rolled right off the unyielding hard ground which would not receive it, and into the cracks that eagerlyaccepted it!"Oh, why dost thou doubt and make thy soul impoverished for lack of faith? Even the little child has more faith.Kiss the Son!
Kiss Me as the breast of thy mother
, that I shall nurse thee, and thou shalt put thy mouth upon Me and My breast and nurse from Me the milk of the truth that I have given unto thee."--"So shall I satisfy thee, and thy heart shall befilled with righteousness, and thy mouth with good things, and thy soul shall be satisfied, for thy spirit longeth unto Me! For thou shalt be filled to overflowing!"77:3773:6 -- P:2 - 73:6 -- 9:12 -- 152:982:16,26 -- 152:27
August 3Learning, learning, learning--it never ends! I love it!
We'll always be learning until the day we die.--Every day we learn some new obedience, just like a little child.Every day he learns something new. God's Word even says of Jesus that He "learned obedience through the things which Hesuffered"! (Heb.5:8) And that "He grew in stature and in wisdom." (Lk.2:52)We are now, in a sense, rehearsing for what is to come.--Like little children playing at games, doing what theyexpect to do when they're older.--This is the whole purpose of life: To
prepare
us for the next life.--We are now in our
training period
in this life in preparation for ruling the world in the next!--In the Millennium we are going to have to learnhow to run the whole world.--And if we do not pass these tests and complete these grades and learn these lessons in
this
life, we shall surely be unfit to rule in the
next
, in the coming Kingdom of God!--So for God's sake, let's learn our lessonstoday and get them down pat!What a glorious day that will be! Even now Thou art preparing us for that day! For he that is now faithful in thesethings that are least, shall also be faithful in that which is much.--And he that hath done well with a few talents, Thou shaltmake ruler over cities! (Lk.16:10; Mt.25:23)510:27714:17 -- 727:109,104185:82 -- 332B:5 -- 727:103 -- 315A:17 - 727:103 -- 315A:17 -- 727:148185:56
