Greetings sis Reis, et al;
The saints of GOD are doubly blessed. Not only have they been made
the recipients of HIS grace and mercy, but they have been taught that HE is
their continual SUPPLY. How comforting to know that HE ever liveth to
make intercession for us before the throne of GOD. The LORD knows them
that are HIS and teaches them to know HIM. *"Fear not, little flock;
for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32*
)
Blessings, mike

*"And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,
because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of
God." **Romans 8:27 *
*God's will must ever stand, it is as unchanging and as unchangeable as
God himself. Our wills are ever fluctuating; God's will fluctuates not. And
as that will must ever live and rule, it will be our highest wisdom and
richest mercy to submit to, and be conformed unto it. Now the will of God
to you who desire to fear his name is not your destruction, but your
salvation; your profit now, your happiness hereafter; your present grace,
and eternal glory. And the Spirit is making intercession for you according
to the will of God; for is it not your earnest desire and prayer that your
soul should be saved and blessed, that you should serve God and live to his
glory, and when you die be with him for ever? *
*Lie, then, at his feet. Be the clay, and let him be your heavenly Potter.
Think not of saving yourself, or of putting your own hand to God's gracious
work. Be content to be nothing. Sink even lower than that; be willing to be
less than nothing, that Christ may be all in all. Covet above all things
the Spirit's interceding breath; for in possessing that you will have a
sure pledge that he will guide you in life, support you in death, and land
you in glory. With his guidance we can never err; with his supporting arms
we can never fall; taught by him we shall see the path of life plainly;
upheld by his strength we shall walk in it without fear. *
*Without his light we are dark; without his life we are dead; without his
teaching we are but a mass of ignorance and folly. We cannot find the way
except he guide; but if he do guide, we cannot but find it. The more we
confide in his teaching and guidance the better it will be for us; and the
more that under this teaching we can lie submissively at the Lord's feet,
looking up to him for his will to be made known in us and perfected in us,
the more it will be for our present peace, and the more it will redound to
his eternal praise. *
*J.C. Philpot (1802-1869) *
