Moving Into Line, December 11
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 knowledge
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.
