DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the necessity of waiting upon God for spiritual
vitality, arguing that mere moments of communion are insufficient for a
healthy spiritual life. He illustrates that Christians must engage in
continuous spiritual communion with the Holy Spirit, akin to breathing,
to fully experience God's blessings. Simpson encourages believers to
recognize God's desire to bless them and to actively receive the Holy
Spirit, living in His love as an essential part of their existence. He
calls for a deep appreciation of God's grace and an active participation
in the spiritual life He offers. The sermon invites listeners to dwell
in God as naturally as a flower thrives in sunlight.

0ne of the greatest hindrances to spirituality is the lack of waiting
upon God. We cannot go through 24 hours with just the breaths of air we
inhale as we sip our morning coffee. We must, rather, live in the
atmosphere and breathe it all day long. Christians do not wait upon God
enough. It requires hours and hours daily of spiritual communion with
the Holy Spirit to keep our vitality healthful and full. Every moment
should find us breathing out ourselves into Christ, and breathing afresh
His life. God is waiting to send us the Holy Spirit. He is longing to
bless us. His one business is to quicken and sustain our spiritual life
with His infinite and great resources. Let us receive Him.

Let us live in Him.

Let us give to Him the joy of knowing that His infinite grace has not
been bestowed in vain, but that we appreciate and appropriate the
blessings He bestows. Lord, help me this day to dwell in Thee as the
flower in the sunshine, as the fish in the sea, living in Thy love as
the atmosphere and element of my being.
