Feet Shod with Gospel of Peace, November 4
Equipped for Victory
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
Ephesians 6:15
The Lord is soon coming. Talk it, pray it, believe it. Make it a part
of the life. You will have to meet a doubting, objecting spirit, but this
will give way before firm, consistent trust in God. When perplexities or
hindrances present themselves, lift the soul to God in songs of thanks-
giving. Gird on the Christian armor, and be sure that your feet are “shod
with the preparation of the gospel of peace.”
We are living in the midst of an “epidemic of crime,” at which
thoughtful, God-fearing men everywhere stand aghast. The corruption
that prevails, it is beyond the power of the human pen to describe. Every
day brings fresh revelations of political strife, bribery, and fraud. Every
day brings its heart-sickening record of violence and lawlessness, of
indifference to human suffering, of brutal, fiendish destruction of human
life. Every day testifies to the increase of insanity, murder, and suicide.
Who can doubt that satanic agencies are at work among men with in-
creasing activity to distract and corrupt the mind and defile and destroy
the body? ...
Everywhere there are hearts crying out for something which they
have not. They long for a power that will give them mastery over sin,
a power that will deliver them from the bondage of evil, a power that
will give health and life and peace. Many who once knew the power of
God’s Word have dwelt where there is no recognition of God, and they
long for the divine presence.
The world needs today what it needed nineteen hundred years ago—a
revelation of Christ.
For earth’s sin and misery the gospel is the only antidote.
