Linked with God

Saturday. Isa. 41 :8-16.

The exquisiteness of doing the Father’s great, tender, wise, practical will — nothing, absolutely nothing, compares with that. Then there’s God’s own peace in the heart; the inner sense of his approval. Nothing can take the place of that nor compensate for its absence. There’s the fragrant power in life and service, even while thorns tear. There’s the wondrous joy of having a part with him in his wondrous world-plan. This was the blessedness of Jesus’ earth-life, and may be ours.
