Then God will fill us daily
with himself. There will be a constant inflowing from God of strength and
ability to perform every duty of life, and of grace and peace to make life
an emblem of heaven. "The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou
shouldest
know his will." Acts 22:14. "Not with eye-service, as
men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ,
doing the will of God
from the heart." Eph. 6:6. "I
delight to do thy will, O my God"
Psa. 40:8. It is our privilege to daily
know the will of God. It is
our duty to daily
do it. It is a blessing to love to do it. Here is
the sum of all Christian living: 1. Knowing the will of God; 2. Doing the
will of God; 3. Doing the will of God in love.
"I asked the New-year for some motto sweet,
Some rule of life with which to guide my feet;
I asked, and paused; he answered soft and low,
'God's will to know.'
"'Will knowledge then suffice, New-year?' I cried,
And e'en the question into silence died:
The answer came, 'Nay, but remember, too,
God's will to do.'
"Once more I asked: 'Is there no more to tell?'
And once again the answer sweetly fell,
'Yes, this one thing all other things above:
God's will to love.
