" It can be felt, not only in the words, but in the
very disposition of the humble, waiting, worshiping heart. We must carry
this waiting into all our worship; we will have to make a study of it; we
will have to speak about it; we will have to help each other, for the truth
has been too much lost in the Church of Christ; we must wait upon God about
it. Then we shall be able to carry it out into our daily life. There are so
many Christians who wonder that they fail; but think of the ease with which
they talk and join in conversation, spending hours in it, never thinking
that all this may be dissipating the soul's power and leading them to spend
hours not in the immediate presence of God. I am afraid this is the great
difficulty: that we are not willing to make the needed sacrifice for a life
of continual waiting upon God. Are there not some of us who would feel it
an impossibility to spend every moment under the covering of the Most High,
"in the secret of His pavilion?" Beloved, do not think it too high, or too
difficult.
