DAILY, WEEKEND, AND HOLIDAY INTERNET EVANGELIZE TO THE WORLD MINISTRY

  Morning, August 31 Go To Evening Reading “On mine arm shall they trust.” —Isaiah 51:5 In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God alone. When his vessel is on its beam-ends, and no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God and God alone! There is no getting at our God sometimes because of the multitude of our friends, but when a man is so poor, so friendless, so helpless that he has nowhere else to turn, he flies into his Father’s arms and is blessedly clasped therein! When he is burdened with troubles so pressing and so peculiar that he cannot tell them to any but his God, he may be thankful for them, for he will learn more of his Lord then than at any other time. Oh, tempest-tossed believer, it is a happy trouble that driv

Morning, August 30 Go To Evening Reading “Wait on the Lord.” —Psalm 27:14 It may seem easy to wait, but it is one of the postures a Christian soldier learns not without years of teaching. Marching and quick-marching are much easier for God’s warriors than standing still. There are hours of perplexity when the most willing spirit, anxiously desirous of serving the Lord, knows not what part to take. Then what shall it do? Vex itself by despair? Fly back in cowardice, turn to the right hand in fear, or rush forward in presumption? No, but simply wait. Wait in prayer , however. Call upon God, and spread the case before him; tell him your difficulty, and plead his promise of aid. In dilemmas between one duty and another, it is sweet to be humble as a child and wait with simplicity of soul upon the Lord. It is sure to be well with us when we feel and know our own folly and are heartily willing to be guided by the will of God. But wait in faith . Express your unstaggering confidence i

  Morning, August 29 Go To Evening Reading “Have mercy upon me, O God.” —Psalm 51:1 When Dr. Carey was suffering from a dangerous illness, the inquiry was made, “If this sickness should prove fatal, what passage would you select as the text for your funeral sermon?” He replied, “Oh, I feel that such a poor sinful creature is unworthy of having anything said about him; but if a funeral sermon must be preached, let it be from the words, ‘Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness; according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.’ ” In the same spirit of humility, he directed in his will that the following inscription and nothing more should be cut on his gravestone:— William Carey, Born August 17th, 1761: Died- - “A wretched, poor, and helpless worm On thy kind arms, I fall.” Only on the footing of free grace can the most experienced and most honored of the saints approach their God. The best men are conscious above all others t
