It is common for homeowners to have many locks in their houses, each with different keys, but to have one master key which opens all. So the Lord has many treasuries and secrets all shut up from carnal minds with locks which they cannot open; but he who walks in fellowship with Jesus possesses the master key which will admit him to all the blessings of the covenant; yea, to the very heart of God. Through the Well-beloved we have access to God, to heaven, to every secret of the Lord.

September 19 - 21, 2006

Passive faith accepts the word as true but never moves. Active faith begins the work to do, and thereby proves. Passive faith says, "I believe it! every word of God is true. Well I know He hath not spoken what He cannot, will not, do. He hath bidden me, 'Go forward!' but a closed-up way I see, When the waters are divided, soon in Canaan's land I'll be. Lo! I hear His voice commanding, 'Rise and walk: take up thy bed'; and, 'Stretch forth thy withered member!' which for so long has been dead. When I am a little stronger, then, I know I'll surely stand: when there comes a thrill of heating, I will use with ease my other hand. Yes, I know that 'God is able' and full willing all to do: I believe that every promise, sometime, will to me come true. Active faith says, "I believe it! and the promise now I take, knowing well, as I receive it, God, each promise, real will make. So I step into the waters, finding there an open way; Onward press, the land possessing; nothing can my progress stay. Yea, I rise at His commanding, walk straightway, and joyfully. This, my hand, so sadly shrivelled, as I reach, restored shall be. What beyond His faithful promise, would I wish or do I need? Looking not for 'signs or wonders,' I'll no contradiction heed, well I know that 'God is able,' and full willing all to do: I believe that every promise, at this moment can come true." Passive faith but praises in the light, When sun doth shine. Active faith will praise in darkest night-- Which faith is thine?

Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith's door, and heard the anvil ring the vesper chime; Then looking in, I saw upon the floor old hammers, worn with beating years of time. "How many anvils have you had" I said "to wear and batter all these hammers so?" "Just one" said he, and then with twinkling eye, "The anvil wears the hammers out, you know." And so, thought I, The anvil of Gods Word. For ages skeptic blows have beat upon; Yet though the noise of falling blows was heard, The anvil is unharmed... the hammers gone.

Do what you can, being what you are. Shine as glow-worm if you cannot be a star. Work like a pulley if you cannot be crane; be a wheel grinder if you cannot drive a train. Be the pliant oar if you cannot be the sailor; be the needle if you cannot be a tailor... Be the sharpened sickle if you cannot be the reaper.

The way to stimulate and provoke others unto good works is to strive to outrun them in the race. The way to rebuke the cold and indifferent is to be always full of zeal and 'abounding in the work of the Lord' yourself. Men will be much more ready to answer a call to come up to your level, than a command to advance beyond you.
