KEEP THE NEEDLE STEADY

Psalms 103:13-22

God’s Word is full of beautiful promises, and they lead us to fascinating results. Results are magnetic. The needle-point of our desire turns their way. But there are always conditions. Conditions unfulfilled keep the needle-point on the wabble; fulfilled, hold it true to its object. Remembering his precepts to do them steadies the needle-point: it points true and straight to the results that are surely coming. When we are absorbed with obedience the results are bound to come.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

LOVE WHEN YOU CAN’T LIKE

John 15:8-17

We may not be able always to agree, but if we keep the heart full of warm, tender love for others, we shall be able to see matters from another’s angle as well as our own. Lack of love shuts out sympathy, and shortens the vision, and loses the poise. And let’s remember that we can love even when we find it impossible to like. The soul of any man is lovable, though his ways may not be.

Philippians 2:8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

DO IT!

James 1:19-27

We know only what we experience. We cannot know the truth of God’s Word until we do it. The reason why some doubt the power of Jesus, both for personal victory and for helping others, is because they have stopped short of doing. Thinking religious thoughts and approving them is not enough. “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” Only so can there be victory in the life, and power through the life with those whom we touch.

Philippians 2:7  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

YOU CAN WILL TO LOVE

John 14:15-24

We have neither the disposition nor the power to obey our Lord until we love him first and most of all. His presence within gives power to overcome the opposition to his will. And love makes the heart more fit for his indwelling. When we know Jesus we love him. And love always delights in pleasing the one loved. If we have any trouble obeying, let’s get better acquainted with Jesus. He is always wooing us with loving-kindness.

Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

FAILING GOD HINDERS HIS PLAN

Mat_4:17-22

How glad we are that Peter and Andrew obeyed Jesus when he spoke to them! There is somebody, yes, many, who will be grateful if we will but obey when Jesus speaks to us. Every failure to obey hurts God’s plan. It hurts his plan for us and through us. Sometimes he says, “Stay with the nets.” If so, be faithful. Sometimes he says, “Leave the nets,” and if so, let’s do it.

Philippians 2:5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
