God Himself

Under the gospel dispensation, God has taken to Himself the attitude and title of "God our Savior," towards a world of poor, fallen sinners, displaying His grace in the salvation of the lost, on the ground, and through the virtues of the sacrifice of His Son. He is not willing that any should perish. His desire is, that all should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. God Himself—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—are workers together to this end. Surely it is blessed to be in ever so feeble a manner, in the channel of divine thoughts and workings. All this, too, is for Christ's glory—this is the ultimate aim and object of the divine mind.
The knowledge of God Himself is the highest attainment to which the soul can aim. It is this by which the saints grow and increase so that they become, if learning, fathers in Christ, for they "know Him who was from the beginning." That is, they know Him who has revealed to us the heart and nature of God.
Everything
“In everything"—not only when you know the will of God—make known your requests, it is not a question of intelligence, but of confidence in God. "And the peace of God...shall keep your hearts and minds." Phil. 4.
Communion
What precious thoughts come before our hearts as we contemplate the word "communion" as it relates to our personal contact with our loving God and Father. "Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." 1 John 1:3.
Is it not marvelous that now, in virtue of our new birth into God's family and our being indwelt by the Holy Spirit, we can have and enjoy God's thoughts, all centering around His beloved Son? Before our salvation it could not be, because "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they arc spiritually discerned. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ." 1 Cor. 2:14,16. "But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." 1 John 2:20.
How good it is when you and I discover that our gracious Father wants us, yes, longs for us to enter into His thoughts and to share His delights. Have we discovered something of what David experienced when he wrote: "How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me. O God! how great is the sum of them"? Psa. 139:17. "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make our abode with him." The Holy Spirit would always direct our hearts to our precious Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ, the perfect example of blessed uninterrupted communion with His Father, that we might learn the precious secrets of what communion is, and how it is to be maintained.
If we consider the perfect Man, we see that two lovely things characterized Him perfect obedience and perfect communion. "I delight to do Thy will, O my God: yea, Thy law is within my heart." Psa. 40:8. (See also Psa. 1.) "For the end of that man is peace." Psa. 37:37. Is not His communion with His Father sweetly implied in the Lord's own words when He said, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid", also, "These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." (John 14:27 and 15:11)?
It must follow then, that if we are to know more of this blessed communion with our heavenly Father, there must be simple obedience and submission to the will of God in our daily lives. As the precious Word of God grips our hearts and directs our feet, we commence to have and enjoy His thoughts and in the same proportion we go on our way rejoicing (Acts 8:39).
We have a fine example of communion in the most happy experiences of Abraham's servant in Gen. 24. We must say that this touching story furnishes a beautiful type of the Father sending forth the Holy Spirit to fetch a bride for His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus. The activities of this dear servant seem to set forth many divine principles that should characterize the man of communion! They are as follows: (1) Availability (2) Submission (3) Obedience (4) Prayer (5) Worship (6) Testimony (7) Continuance.
