Beloved, wait continually upon God. You can not do
this unless you are in His presence. You must live in His presence. Then
the blessed habit of waiting upon God will be learned. The real difficulty
of getting to the point of real waiting upon God, is because most
Christians have not sought to realize the nearness of God, and to give God
the first place. But let us strive after this, let us trust God to give it
to us by His grace, let us wait on God all the day. "My eyes," says one,
"are ever towards Thee." Wait upon God for guidance, and God, if you wait
much upon Him, will lead you up into new power for His service, into new
gladness in His fellowship. He will lead you out into a larger trust in
Him; He will prepare you to expect new things from Him. Beloved, there
is no knowing what God will do for a man who is utterly given up to Him.
Praise His name! Let each one of us say, "May my life be to live and die,
to labor and to pray continually for this one thing: that in me, and around
me, and in the church; that throughout the world '_God may be all in
all_.
