Instruments of Righteousness
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto
sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead,
and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Rom. 6:13.
The Lord has given you talents to use, and in using these talents as He
intended they should be used, you will have increased aptitude and wisdom
and clear spiritual eyesight to understand His work. Your mind and eyes must
watch for His appearing, your ears open to hear the faintest whisperings of
His voice. Your knees He has made; use them in kneeling in prayer. He is
your strength. By faith take hold of the Unseen. Let your feet be shod with
the preparation of the gospel for running obediently in the way of His
commandments. Your tongue and voice are a talent given you of God to tell
the story of His life, of His lessons, of His death, of His resurrection, of
His ascension. Your bodily strength is to be devoted to the Master in
fighting the good fight of faith on the battlefield, overcoming His enemies
with "It is written." Your sympathies and energies belong to God. Use them
to glorify your Redeemer. . . .
Cultivate the thought that you are not alone. All your steps are
watched by the Lord. You are encompassed with vigilant angels. . . . As the
angels ministered unto Jacob, so certainly will they minister unto all of
the Lord's humble, contrite ones. . . .
Reach up, higher and still higher, taking hold of one line of faith
after another. Walk and work in love to God and the poor oppressed ones, and
the Lord will be your helper. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye
shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon
the Son of man" (John 1:51). Jesus the precious Saviour, the Son of the
living God, is the ladder uniting the celestial world with the terrestrial.
His divinity lays hold of the throne of God. His humanity touches the earth.
His human arm encircles the entire human race. Through Jesus Christ the
angelic ministrations in love, in comfort, in reproof, in light, reach us. O
thank the Lord, for He is good, and His mercies endure forever!
