God Accomplishes the Salvation of Those Who Trust in Him ㅡ
“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
He that is our God is the God of salvation; and to GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.”
(Psalm 68:19, 20)
We cannot keep our eyes fixed upon the things that are seen, and yet appreciate eternal realities.
We need, and especially you who are so bound up with the afflictions and necessities of humanity, to keep the eye of faith beholding the eternal and unseen, that you may become more and more intelligent in regard to the great plan of God to bring these suffering ones to discern the value of the human soul.
You are to esteem the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt.
Discouragements come to you, I know, and trials press upon your soul, and you almost forget that Jesus is your Helper, and that His eye is upon you every moment.
In the working out of your plans for the blessing and relief of humanity ever bear in mind that it is not you who are doing the work.
Christ requires you to wear His yoke, and lift His burdens.
The great and sympathetic heart of Christ is ever identifying itself with suffering humanity.
You cannot of your own self do anything.
Regard yourself as an instrument in God’s hands, and let His mind, His peace, His grace, rule in heart and life.
Be God’s thread to work out His design.
You can never handle yourself.
You can never place yourself in position with any success.
You must work as an agent cooperating with God.
“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:12~13).
Here are the combined elements, God and the human agent, both working harmoniously.
