Light for the DaysI will walk in thy truth.—Psalms 86:11.
A LOVE all things do I love the truth? Is it my earnest prayer that God will make it plain to me, and aid me to walk in the way it points out as right? Do I seek in all things to be governed by his teachings? Am I anxious to be sincere in religion, and earnest in my desire to know and do the will of God? Do I look to Christ as the great Teacher and perfect Example of truth, and endeavor so to live as faithfully to imitate him?
In the knowledge of God is the only true wisdom; in the service of God, the only true freedom; in the love of God, the only true felicity: and these all are so vast, that though they have their seed-time on earth, room for the harvest can only be found in eternity, in heaven.
It is not the bee touching on flowers that gathers honey, but her abiding on them for a time, and so drawing out the sweet. So it is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, and strongest Christian.—BISHOP HALL.
Truthful Spirit, dwell with me; Let me ever walk with thee; Let me know and love thy ways; Let my life show forth thy praise; Every truth make plain and clear, Till thy life in mine appear.
