The ear of the Lord is open to the cries
of those who are in His service. He has promised: "I will
guide thee with Mine eye." Psalm 32:8. Walk humbly with
God, and ask Him to make your course of duty plain. When He speaks
to His representatives and asks them to be laborers together
with Him, they will do the same kind of work that Jesus announced
as His work when He stood up to read in the synagogue at Nazareth.
He opened the book of the prophet Esaias and read: "The
Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me; because the Lord hath anointed
Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind
up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to them that are bound." Isaiah
61:1.
The truth is now overcast in the world
by clouds of error that prevail. He who can influence even the
most lowly, and can win them to Christ, is co-operating with
divine agencies in seeking to save that which is lost. In presenting
to the sinner a personal, sin-pardoning Saviour, we reach a hand
of sympathy and Christlike love to grasp the hand of one fallen,
and, laying hold of the hand of Christ by faith, we form a link
of union between the sinner and the Saviour.
The end is near, and every soul is now
to walk carefully, humbly, meekly with Christ Jesus. Our precious
Saviour, from whom all the rays of truth radiate to the world,
wants us to put not our trust in princes, nor in the son of man,
in whom there is no help; but to lean wholly upon Him. He says:
"Without Me ye can do nothing." John 15:5. We need
to look to Jesus constantly in order that He may impress upon
us His own lovely image. We are to behold the Lamb of God, which
taketh away the sin of the world. Then we shall reveal Christ
to our fellow men.
