"The LORD is good, a stronghold ... and he knows them that trust in him."- Nahum 1:7
If we do trust in God, he will give us strength, and he will know us very personally. The more we let him into our lives, centering our thoughts and activities around him, the more he will be concerned and take charge of every little thing, because we want him to. But first, we must let him! Psalms 18:2
May 8
And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life. (1 John 2:25)
WE all should understand that we have something to do in realizing the gracious promises of God to us. In connection with the affairs of this present life He has promised that our bread and water shall be sure, but this does not imply that we shall neglect reasonable opportunities for securing these. He has promised us also a share in the Kingdom by and by; but it is for us to make our calling and election sure. God is thoroughly capable and thoroughly willing to perform all of His part in connection with every matter, but it is to our advantage that He calls us to show our faith by our works--by our co-operation with Him in all reasonable ways.
