Obedience to God’s Will

88 words

To the Christian there is no argument so potent as God’s will. God’s

will is the believer’s law. He doth not ask what shall it profit

him–what shall be the good effect of it upon others, but he simply

says, “Doth my Father command it?” And his prayer is, “O Holy Spirit,

help me to obey, not because I see how it shall be good for me, but

simply because thou commandest.” It is the Christian’s privilege to do

God’s commandments, “Hearkening to the voice of His Word.”
