Praying for a Larger Experience, March 30
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge
my heart.
Psalm 119:32
.
The ten holy precepts spoken by Christ upon Sinai’s mount ... made
known to the world the fact that He had jurisdiction over the whole
human heritage. That law of ten precepts of the greatest love that can be
presented to man is the voice of God from heaven speaking to the soul
in promise, “This do, and you will not come under the dominion and
control of Satan.” There is not a negative in that law, although it may
appear thus. It is DO, and Live.
The God of heaven has placed a benediction upon them that keep
the commandments of God. Shall we stand as a peculiar people of God,
or shall we trample upon the law of God and say it is not binding? God
might just as well have abolished Himself.
His law is the echo of His own voice, giving to all the invitation,
“Come up higher. Be holy, holier still.” Every day we may advance in
perfection of Christian character.
As the stars tell us that there is a great light in heaven with whose
glory they are made bright, so Christians are to make it manifest that
there is a God on the throne of the universe whose character is worthy
of praise and imitation.
The bright beams of heaven’s light are shining upon your pathway,
dear youth, and I pray that you may make the most of your opportunities.
Receive and cherish every heaven-sent ray, and your path will grow
brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.
We gain ... strength by walking in the light, that we may have energy
to run in the way of God’s commandments. We may gain an increase of
strength at every step we advance heavenward.
We need constantly a fresh revelation of Christ, a daily experience
that harmonizes with His teachings. High and holy attainments are
within our reach. Continual progress in knowledge and virtue is God’s
purpose for us.
