Royalty and Ruin
and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of
the earth.”
Isaiah 11:11, 12
.
Among all nations the Lord sees men and women praying for
light. They grope as if blind. But they are honest in heart. With
no knowledge of the written law of God or of His Son Jesus, their
lives show the working of a divine power on mind and character. At
times those who have no knowledge of God other than what they
have received through divine grace have protected His servants at
the risk of their own lives. The Holy Spirit is implanting the grace
of Christ in the hearts of many noble seekers after truth, awakening
their sympathies contrary to their former education. The “Light
which gives light to every man” (
John 1:9
) is shining in their minds,
and, if heeded, will guide their feet to the kingdom of God.
God will not permit anyone to be disappointed who longs for
something higher and nobler than anything the world can offer.
Constantly He is sending His angels to those who, surrounded by
discouraging circumstances, pray in faith for some power higher than
themselves to bring deliverance and peace. In various ways God will
place them in touch with events He has arranged that will establish
their confidence in the One who has given Himself a ransom for all.
Unto all “the upright” in every land “there arises light in the
darkness.”
Psalm 112:4
. God has spoken: “I will bring the blind by
a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not
known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places
straight.”
Isaiah 42:16
.
