It is too difficult for you and me to attain, but our God will
give it to us. Let us begin even now to wait more earnestly and intensely
upon God. Let us in our homes sometimes bow a little in silence; let us in
our closets wait in silence, and make a covenant, it may be, without words,
that with our whole hearts we will seek God's presence to come in upon us.
What is religion? Just as much as you have of God working in you, that
alone is religion. And if you want more religion, more grace, more strength
and more fruitfulness, you must have more of God. Let that be the cry of
our hearts,--More of God! More of God! More of God! And let us say to our
souls, "My soul, wait thou upon God, for my expectation is from Him."
ENTRANCE INTO REST.
IV.
_Hebrews 4: 1_.--_Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of
entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it._
_Hebrews 4: 11_.--_Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any
man fall after the same example of unbelief_.
