THE GATE INTO THE NEW EDEN

 Genesis 2:18-24

The true unit of society is not a man or a woman, but a man and a woman joined in heart by the touch of God’s own hand. Each fits into and complements the other. There’s a chosen Adam awaiting every Eve, and a choice Eve being prepared for each Adam. But only God’s fatherly hand can bring them together, and knit them into one. This is where God’s hand should have fullest control if there’s to be a new Eden for each two.

1 Peter 2:2  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

HOLD STEADY

Genesis 24:57-67

Mating-time is life’s sweetest time thus far, and life’s most serious. A slip there is the most serious of all mistakes. God’s plan for his saviour-nation hinged on Isaac’s getting the right helpmate. So he plans each life, and each union of lives. So he’ll bring his Isaac to each Rebekah, and his Rebekah to each Isaac. But we must hold true to our ideals, and to him, and keep steady during the waiting-time.

Jeremiah 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

BIGGER PRAYING

1 Samuel 1:9-18

Hannah’s praying changed. Hannah herself changed. She wanted a son; that was all. Then in God’s gentle love-fire her vision cleared and broadened, her will mellowed and bent. She was willing that God might have her son in his sweeping plan for a nation. So she became more. So she got more than a son, a national leader, and through him a world-Saviour. God would change the gauge of our praying so he can enlarge the gauge of his giving.

Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

AND THE CROWD’S LISTENING

 Matthew 10:37-42

Love does its best, and gives its best, and is its best. That’s a fixed law. That’s the law of love. That’s the love of love. And so you always know how much there is by how much is given and done and been. Love can’t help itself. It must. That’s its life. Otherwise it shrinks up and gasps and dies. How much do you know of love? It’s easy to find out. You’re telling daily.

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

KEEP THE DOOR OPEN

 Genesis 15:4-6; Gen_22:15-19

God could give to Abraham, because he had made such a wide opening into his life. God can give only into an open hand. This hand was opened wide. This door swung clear back. God had a free swing, and he used it. He could, and he did. He always does. Let this be our rule: “Give all he asks; then take all he gives” And the cup will be spilling joyously over at the brim.
