Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God...2 Corinthians 5:20 King James Version (KJV)

The Lord wait that he may be gracious unto you

BEAUTIFUL PLACES OF GUATEMALA


"Therefore will the Lord wait that he may be gracious unto you." 
- Isaiah 30:18

God often DELAYS IN ANSWERING PRAYER. 
We have several instances of this in sacred Scripture.
 Jacob did not get the blessing from the angel until near the dawn of day-he had to wrestle all night for it.

 The poor woman of Syrophenicia was answered not a word for a long while. 
Paul besought the Lord thrice that "the thorn in the flesh" might be taken from him, and he received no assurance that it should be taken away, but instead thereof a promise that God's grace should be sufficient for him.

 If thou hast been knocking at the gate of mercy, and hast received no answer, shall I tell thee why the mighty Maker hath not opened the door and let thee in? Our Father has reasons peculiar to himself for thus keeping us waiting. 

Sometimes it is to show his power and his sovereignty, that men may know that Jehovah has a right to give or to withhold. More frequently the delay is for our profit. 

Thou art perhaps kept waiting in order that thy desires may be more fervent. God knows that delay will quicken and increase desire, and that if he keeps thee waiting thou wilt see thy necessity more clearly, and wilt seek more earnestly; and that thou wilt prize the mercy all the more for its long tarrying. 

There may also be something wrong in thee which has need to be removed, before the joy of the Lord is given. Perhaps thy views of the Gospel plan are confused, or thou mayest be placing some little reliance on thyself, instead of trusting simply and entirely to the Lord Jesus.

 Or, God makes thee tarry awhile that he may the more fully display the riches of his grace to thee at last.
 Thy prayers are all filed in heaven, and if not immediately answered they are certainly not forgotten, but in a little while shall be fulfilled to thy delight and satisfaction. 

Let not despair make thee silent, but continue instant in earnest supplication.

"Ye serve the Lord Christ."

BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN GUATEMALA


"Ye serve the Lord Christ." 
- Colossians 3:24

To what choice order of officials was this word spoken? 
To kings who proudly boast a right divine? 
Ah, no! too often do they serve themselves or Satan, 
and forget the God whose sufferance permits them to wear their mimic majesty for their little hour. 

Speaks then the apostle to those so-called 
"right reverend fathers in God," 
the bishops, or "the venerable the archdeacons"?
 No, indeed, Paul knew nothing of these mere inventions of man. 

Not even to pastors and teachers, or to the wealthy and esteemed among believers, 
was this word spoken, but to servants, aye, and to slaves. 

Among the toiling multitudes, the journeymen, the day labourers, the domestic servants, the drudges of the kitchen,
 the apostle found, as we find still, some of the Lord's chosen, 
and to them he says, "Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, 
as to the Lord, and not unto men; 
knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." 

This saying ennobles the weary routine of earthly employments, and sheds a halo around the most humble occupations. 
To wash feet may be servile, but to wash his feet is royal work. 

To unloose the shoe-latchet is poor employ, but to unloose the great Master's shoe is a princely privilege. 
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! 
Then "divine service" is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and its golden candlestick. 

"Teach me, my God and King, in all things thee to see; 
And what I do in anything to do it as to thee. 
All may of thee partake, nothing can be so mean, 
Which with this tincture, for thy sake, will not grow bright and clean. 

A servant with this clause makes drudgery divine; 
Who sweeps a room, as for thy laws, makes that and the action fine."

Then opened he their understanding



"Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures."
Luke 24:45

He whom we viewed last evening as opening Scripture,
 we here perceive opening the understanding. 
In the first work he has many fellow-labourers, 
but in the second he stands alone; 
many can bring the Scriptures to the mind, 
but the Lord alone can prepare the mind to receive the Scriptures. 

Our Lord Jesus differs from all other teachers; 
they reach the ear, but he instructs the heart;
 they deal with the outward letter, 
but he imparts an inward taste for the truth, 
by which we perceive its savour and spirit.

 The most unlearned of men become ripe scholars in the school of grace when the Lord Jesus by his Holy Spirit unfolds the mysteries of the kingdom to them, 
and grants the divine anointing by which they are enabled to behold the invisible. 

Happy are we if we have had our understandings cleared and strengthened by the Master! 
How many men of profound learning are ignorant of eternal things! They know the killing letter of revelation, but its killing spirit they cannot discern; they have a veil upon their hearts which the eyes of carnal reason cannot penetrate. 

Such was our case a little time ago; we who now see were once utterly blind; truth was to us as beauty in the dark, 
a thing unnoticed and neglected. 

Had it not been for the love of Jesus we should have remained to this moment in utter ignorance, for without his gracious opening of our understanding, we could no more have attained to spiritual knowledge than an infant can climb the Pyramids, or an ostrich fly up to the stars. 

Jesus' College is the only one in which God's truth can be really learned; other schools may teach us what is to be believed, but Christ's alone can show us how to believe it.

 Let us sit at the feet of Jesus, and by earnest prayer call in his blessed aid that our dull wits may grow brighter, 
and our feeble understandings may receive heavenly things.
