"He Satisfieth The Longing Soul."

by W.Lewis | Category: General | Jun 1933

Is there not too much talk and singing about "Sandy deserts " and " wildernesses wide," and too much of our energy wasted in being sorry for ourselves?

There is, blessed be God, a green spot in the desert all the greener for the barren waste around, and wells of water all the cooler for the parching drought-" We joy in God."

In such an oasis we are-we have God and His Word. Here are spread out to the hungering soul, in all their inviting beauty, the pastures of tender grass ; here in all their fulness flow the rivers of His pleasure. Yes, beloved, the blessings which are ours are limitless ; let us therefore, seek increasingly to glorify God by having eyes to see and hearts to appreciate them. Let us get into the light that is shining now so that it may be ours to experience our souls satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and our mouths praising the Lord with joyful lips (Psalm 63. 5).

EXTRACTS.

1.We fear that with many amongst us the winning of souls is a lost art. We long for heaven-given revival days.

2.Are you trying to bring others to Him? Have you made any serious effort along this line? If not, why not?

3.When once the bugle has sounded "Cease Fire," there will be no further opportunity of making conquests. Hence the tremendous responsibility of carrying on the campaign with all the strength at our command.

4.A life has always more power than a precept.

5.Christ Jesus has the sovereign right to arrange everything relating to our testimony.

6.Witnesses about other things usually exaggerate; but witnesses concerning Jesus Christ always fall short.

7.He has angels in myriads to praise Him; He has many a nobler voice than yours, but still He wants yours.

8.You never yet saw a man spring upwards without his first stooping downwards; and he who would stand firmly on his legs must need to fall down frequently on his knees.

9.Never play the "fretful porcupine" by setting up the bristly quills of unamiable and unlovely tempers.

10.Where Satan captures one man by force of strong temptation, he captures ten by the gradual process of sapping and undermining the principles which should rule within.

11.He who gives a trifle meanly, is far meaner than the trifle.

12.Please don't forget that it is easier to give counsel, than to take it.
