The necessity of the Spirit’s work

The necessity of the Spirit’s work

“And I will put my Spirit within you.” 

Ezekiel 36:27

Suggested Further Reading:

 1 Corinthians 12:1-13

Talking one day with a countryman, he used this figure: 

“In the middle of winter I sometimes think how well I could mow; and in early spring I think, how I would like to reap;

 I feel just ready for it; but when mowing time comes, 

I find I have no strength to spare.”

 So when you have no troubles, couldn’t you mow them down at once? When you have no work to do, couldn’t you do it? 

But when work and trouble come, you find how difficult it is. 

Many Christians are like the stag, who talked to itself, and said, “Why should I run away from the dogs? 

Look what a fine pair of horns I’ve got, and look what heels I’ve got too; I might do these hounds some mischief. 

Why not let me stand and show them what I can do with my antlers? I can keep off any quantity of dogs.” No sooner did the dogs bark, than off the stag went.

 So with us.

 “Let sin arise,” we say, “we will soon rip it up, and destroy it; let trouble come, we will soon get over it;” but when sin and trouble come, we then find what our weakness is.

 Then we have to cry for the help of the Spirit; and through him we can do all things, though without him we can do nothing at all. 

In all the acts of the Christian’s life, whether it be the act of consecrating one’s self to Christ, or the act of daily prayer, or the act of constant submission, or preaching the gospel, or ministering to the necessities of the poor, or comforting the desponding, in all these the Christian finds his weakness and his powerlessness, unless he is clothed about with the Spirit of God.

For meditation: 

The Christian is dependant on the Holy Spirit for gifts, 

graces (Galatians 5:22,23) and devotions (Romans 8:26). 

Do you serve God in the strength which he supplies

 (1 Peter 4:11) or are you content to struggle on uselessly in your own strength?

Cure for Envy

Cure for Envy

"Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cast off"   

(Proverbs 23:17-18).

When we see the wicked prosper we are apt to envy them. When we hear the noise of their mirth and our own spirit is heavy, we half think that they have the best of it. 

This is foolish and sinful.

If we knew them better, and specially if we remembered their end, we should pity them.

The cure for envy lies in living under a constant sense of the divine presence, worshiping God and communing with Him all the day long, however long the day may seem.

 True religion lifts the soul into a higher region, where the judgment becomes more clear and the desires are more elevated.

 The more of heaven there is in our lives, the less of earth we shall covet. 

The fear of God casts out envy of men.

The deathblow of envy is a calm consideration of the future. 

The wealth and glory of the ungodly are a vain show. 

This pompous appearance flashes out for an hour and then is extinguished. 

What is the prosperous sinner the better for his prosperity when judgment overtakes him? As for the godly man, his end is peace and blessedness, and none can rob him of his joy; wherefore, let him forgo envy and be filled with sweet content.

Divine sovereignty

Divine sovereignty

“Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?” 

Matthew 20:15

Suggested Further Reading: 

Luke 19:11-27

There is no attribute of God more comforting to his children than the doctrine of divine sovereignty. 

Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that sovereignty overrules them, and that sovereignty will sanctify them all.

 There is nothing for which the children of God should more earnestly contend than the dominion of their Master over all creation—the Kingship of God over all the works of his own hands—the throne of God, and his right to sit upon that throne. 

On the other hand, there is no doctrine more hated by unbelievers, no truth which they have kicked about so much, 

as the great, stupendous, but yet most certain doctrine of the sovereignty of the infinite Jehovah.

 Men will allow God to be everywhere except on his throne. They will allow him to be in his workshop to fashion worlds and to make stars. They will allow him to be in his treasury to dispense his alms and bestow his bounties. 

They will allow him to sustain the earth and bear up its pillars, or light the lamps of heaven, or rule the waves of the ever-moving ocean; but when God ascends his throne, his creatures then gnash their teeth; and when we proclaim an enthroned God, and his right to do as he wills with his own, to dispose of his creatures as he thinks well, without consulting them in the matter, then it is that we are ridiculed, and then it is that men turn a deaf ear to us, for God on his throne is not the God they love. 

They love him anywhere better than they do when he sits with his sceptre in his hand and his crown upon his head.

For meditation:

 Do you have to think twice before addressing Jesus as Lord? Judas Iscariot could never bring himself to do it—the other disciples could say “Lord” (Matthew 26:22); Judas could only say “Rabbi/Master/Teacher” (Matthew 26:25,49).
