Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - March 9
When He cometh into the world, He saith,…A body hast Thou prepared Me. —Hebrews 10:5
This word of Christ must be adopted by each of His followers. Nothing will help us to live in this world and keep ourselves unspotted but the Spirit that was in Christ, that looked upon His body as prepared by God for His service; that looks upon our body as prepared by Him too, that we might offer it to Him. Like Christ, we too have a body in which the Holy Spirit dwells. Like Christ, we too …

Quench not the Spirit. —1 Thessalonians 5:19
In order that you may not quench the Spirit, you must make it a constant study to know what is the mind of the Spirit. You must discriminate with the utmost care between His suggestions and the suggestions of your own deceitful heart. You will keep in constant recollection what are the offices of the Spirit as described by Christ in the Gospel of John. You will be on your guard against impulsive movements, inconsiderate acts, rash words. You will abide in prayer. Search the …

To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. —Philippians 1:21
Live in Christ, and you are in the suburbs of heaven. There is but a thin wall between you and the land of praises. You are within one hour's sailing of the shore of the new Canaan. —William Rutherford

As captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. —Joshua 5:14
Surely Israel might now face the foe with unwavering confidence, and sing of victory even before the battle was gained. And so may the Christian. It is to no conflict of uncertain issue that he advances; the result of the battle is not doubtful. The struggle may be severe, the warfare long; he may sometimes, like the pilgrim, be beaten to the ground, and well-nigh lose his sword; but “though cast down” he is “not destroyed.” The Captain of salvation is on his side, …

There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb, by the way of mount Seir, unto Kadesh-barnea. —Deuteronomy 1:2
Eleven days, and yet it took them forty years! How was this? Alas! we need not travel far for the answer. It is only too like ourselves. How slowly we get over the ground! What windings and turnings! How often we have to go back and travel over the same ground, again and again. We are slow travelers because we are slow learners. Our God is a faithful and wise, as well as a gracious …

The solution to spiritual dryness may not be as complicated as we think. Let the coming year be one in which we learn to delight in the whole Word of God!
Most believers agree that regular time in the Word is vital to their spiritual health. However, in practice, many of us have discovered the time commitment does not present itself without effort. Rather, even before January is over, we find our daily tasks have absorbed all our thoughts and time, and we are fortunate if we even notice the effect on our spiritual life.
Contrast this rhythm with what …

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. —Galatians 6:7
The most common actions of life, its every day and hour, are invested with the highest grandeur, when we think how they extend their issues into eternity. Our hands are now sowing seeds for that great harvest. We shall meet again all we are doing and have done. The graves shall give up their dead, and from the tombs of oblivion the past shall give up all that it holds in keeping, to bear true witness for or against us. — …

Come up in the morning…and present thyself unto Me in the top of the mount. —Exodus 34:2
The morning is the time fixed for my meeting the Lord. This very word morning is as a cluster of rich grapes. Let me crush them, and drink the sacred wine.
In the morning! Then God means me to be at my best in strength and hope. I have not to climb in my weakness. In the night I have buried yesterday’s fatigue, and in the morning I take a new lease of energy.
Sweet …
