STILL WATERS (Compiled by D.L. Moody)

November 18"He which stablisteth us...in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; who hath also sealed us and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." (2 Corinthians 1:21,22)When a Christian is sealed by the Holy Ghost, sealed as the property of his Master, there will be no need to ask, 'Whose image and superscription is this?' upon the sealed one. The King's, of course. Anyone can see the image.Of what use is a seal if it cannot be seen?Is the King's image visibly and permanently stamped upon us? It is on every Spirit-filled, sealed believer.(John McNeil)

November 21I...heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, '...Write.' (Revelation 1:10,11)It is very sweet to note that a voice from heaven said to John, 'Write.' Does not that voice come to us? Are there not those who would taste the joys of heaven if we wrote them words of forgiveness and affection? Are there not others who would dry their tears if we would remind them of past joys, when we were poor as they are now? Could not some who read these words place inside an envelope something bearing their signature which would make a widow's heart dance for joy?What is our pen doing? Is it adding joy to other men's lives? If so, then angels may tune their harps when we sit at our desk. They are sent to minister to the heirs of salvation, and would be glad to look upon our pen as writing music for them to sing, because what we write makes their client's joy to be full.(Thomas Champness)

November 24Singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16)Remember that your life is to be a singing life. This world is God's grand cathedral for you. You are to be one of God's choristers, and there is to be a continual sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving going up from your heart, with which God shall be continually well-pleased. And there should be not only the offering of the lips, but the surrender of the life with joy. Yes, with joy, and not with constraint. Every faculty of our nature should be presented to Him in gladsome service, for the Lord Jehovah is my song as well as my strength.(W. Hay Aitken)

November 27These have turned the world upside down. (Acts 17:6)None of these things move me. (Acts 20:24)The men that move the world are the ones who do not let the world move them.(Selected)

November 29With God all things are possible. (Mark 10:27)Unbelief says, 'How can such and such things be?' It is full of 'hows'; but faith has one great answer to the ten thousand 'hows', and that answer is - GOD!(C.H. Mackintosh)

December 24Continue in prayer. (Colossians 4:2)Our prayers often resemble the mischievous tricks of children, who knock at their neighbours' houses and then run away: We often knock at heaven's door and then run off into the spirit of the world. Instead of waiting for entrance and answer, we act as if we were afraid of having our prayers answered.(Williams)

January 5The Lord is my...song. (Psalm 118:14)Let us think of God Himself becoming our song. This is the fullness and perfection of knowing God: so to know Him that He himself becomes our delight; so to know Him that praise is sweetest, and fullest, and freshest, and gladdest, when we sing of Him. He who has learned this blessed secret carries the golden key of heaven - nay, he hath fetched heaven down to earth, and need not envy the angels now. (Mark Guy Pearse)

January 18All things work together for good to them that love God. (Romans 8:28)In one thousand trials it is not five hundred of them that work for the believer's good, but nine hunderd and ninety-nine of them, AND ONE BESIDE.(George Mueller)

January 25My God shall be my strength. (Isaiah 49:5)Oh, do not pray for easy lives! Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks! Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come in you by the grace of God.(Phillips Brooks)

January 27Are there not twelve hours in the day? (John 11:9)The very fact of a Christian being here, and not in heaven, is a proof that some work awaits him.(William Arnot)

January 28Not as I will, but as Thou wilt. (Matthew 26:39)There are no disappointments to those whose wills are buried in the will of God.(Faber)

February 6He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk even as He walked. (1 John 2:6)The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ.(Selected)

February 16Boast not thyself of tomorrow. (Proverbs 27:1)The only preparation for the morrow is the right use of today. The stone in the hands of the builder must be put in its place and fitted to receive another. The morrow comes for naught if today is not heeded. Neglect not the call that comes to thee this day, for such neglect is nothing else than boasting thyself of tomorrow.(G. Bowen)

February 18To every man his work. (Mark 13:34He does the most for God's great world who does the best in his own little world.(Selected)
