Life at Flood-Tide

Sunday. Mark 10: 17-31.

A swift Stream, at flood, frequently changes its channel, leaving the old, cutting out an entirely new bed. The Holy SY)lui floods the life with love when he is allowed sway, Rom. 5: 5. literal meaning. The old standards that can’t stand the wash of this flood are left behind; new standards are set, flood-tide standards, with rich fertilizing silt, till we wonder how we ever lived the old way. And the upward tug of the new standards affects everything.
