It is a grand thing to have a man with whom God is, to entrust one's
business to. The heathen realized this, and between the need of his own
house and what he saw in Joseph, he decided to make him overseer. I ask
you, do not these two motives plead most urgently that you should say: "I
will make Jesus master over my whole being?" Your house, Christian, your
spiritual life, the dwelling, the temple of God in your heart,--in what
state is that? Is it not often like the temple of old, in Jerusalem, that
had been defiled and made a house of merchandise, and afterwards a den of
thieves? Your heart, meant to be the home of Jesus, is it not often full
of sin and darkness, full of sadness, full of vexation? You have done your
very best to get it changed, and you have called in the help of man, and
the help of means; you have used every method you could think of for
getting it put right; but it will not come right until He whose it is,
comes in to take charge.
If there is any trouble in your heart, if you are in darkness, or in the
power of sin, I bring to you the Son of God, with the promise that He will
come in and take charge.
