June 5th — GOD'S SAY-SO
June 5th.GOD'S SAY-SO
"He hath said . . . so that we may boldly say . . ." Hebrews 8:5-6
My say-so is to be built on God's say-so. God says - "I wil never leave thee," then I can with good courage say - "The Lord is my helper, I wil not fear - " I wil not be haunted by apprehension. This does not mean that I wil not be tempted to fear, but I wil remember God's say-so. I wil be ful of courage, like a child "bucking himself up" to reach the standard his father wants. Faith in many a one falters when the apprehensions come, they forget the meaning of God's say-so, forget to take a deep breath spiritual y. The only way to get the dread taken out of us is to listen to God's say-so.
What are you dreading? You are not a coward about it, you are going to face it, but there is a feeling of dread. When there is nothing and no one to help you, say - "But the Lord is my Helper, this second, in my present outlook." Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God's word fit in? Get hold of the Father's say-so, and then say with good courage - "I wil not fear." It does not matter what evil or wrong may be in the way, He has said - "I wil never leave thee."
Frailty is another thing that gets in between God's say-so and ours. When we realize how feeble we are in facing difficulties, the difficulties become like giants, we become like grasshoppers, and God becomes a nonentity. Remember God's say-so - "I will in no wise fail you." Have we learned to sing after hearing God's key-note? Are we always possessed with the courage to say - "The Lord is my helper," or are we succumbing?
