Moving into Line, May 31
The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that
seek God.
Psalm 69:32
.
It is your privilege to be glad in the Lord, and to rejoice in the knowl-
edge of His sustaining grace. Let His love take possession of mind and
heart. Guard against becoming overwearied, careworn, depressed. Bear
an uplifting testimony. Turn your eyes away from that which is dark and
discouraging, and behold Jesus, our great Leader, under whose watchful
supervision the cause of present truth, to which we are giving our lives and
our all, is destined to triumph gloriously....
Oh, let it be seen ... that Jesus is abiding in the heart, sustaining,
strengthening, comforting. It is your privilege to be endowed, from day to
day, with a rich measure of His Holy Spirit, and to have broadened views of
the importance and scope of the message we are proclaiming to the world.
The Lord is willing to reveal to you wondrous things out of His law. Wait
before Him with humility of heart. Pray most earnestly for an understanding
of the times in which we live, for a fuller conception of His purpose, and
for increased efficiency in soulsaving....
It will be well for us to consider what is soon to come upon the earth.
This is no time for trifling or self-seeking. If the times in which we are
living fail to impress our minds seriously, what can reach us? ...
Men of clear understanding are needed now. God calls upon those who
are willing to be controlled by the Holy Spirit to lead out in a work of
thorough reformation. I see a crisis before us, and the Lord calls for His
laborers to come into line. Every soul should now stand in a position of
deeper, truer consecration to God than during the years that have passed....
I have been deeply impressed by scenes that have recently passed before
me in the night season. There seemed to be a great movement—a work of
revival—going forward in many places. Our people were moving into line,
responding to God’s call.... Shall we not heed His voice? Shall we not trim
our lamps, and act like men who look for their Lord to come? The time is
one that calls for light bearing, for action.
