For Each Day's Need

[Daily Devotional]

For Each Day's Need 

My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus. Phil. 4: 19. 

All blessings are bestowed upon those who have a vital connection with Jesus
Christ. Jesus calls them to Himself not simply to refresh us with His grace
and presence for a few hours, and then to send us forth from His light to
walk apart from Him in sadness and gloom. No, no. He tells us that we must
abide with Him and He with us. . . . Trust in Him continually, and doubt not
His love. He knows all our weakness and that which we need. He will give us
grace sufficient for our day. 

Those only who are constantly receiving fresh supplies of grace, will have
power proportionate to their daily need and their ability to use that power.
Instead of looking forward to some future time when, through a special
endowment of spiritual power, they will receive a miraculous fitting up for
soul- winning, they are yielding themselves daily to God, that He may make
them vessels meet for His use. Daily they are improving the opportunities
for service that lie within their reach. Daily they are witnessing for the
Master wherever they may be, whether in some humble sphere of labor in the
home, or in a public field of usefulness. 

To the consecrated worker there is wonderful consolation in the knowledge
that even Christ during His life on earth sought His Father daily for fresh
supplies of needed grace; and from this communion with God He went forth to
strengthen and bless others. . . . 

Every worker who follows the example of Christ will be prepared to receive
and use the power that God has promised to His church for the ripening of
earth's harvest. Morning by morning, as the heralds of the gospel kneel
before the Lord and renew their vows of consecration to Him, He will grant
them the presence of His Spirit, with its reviving, sanctifying power. As
they go forth to the day's duties, they have the assurance that the unseen
agency of the Holy Spirit enables them to be "laborers together with God" (1
Cor. 3: 9).
