Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - April 15
Could ye not watch with me one hour? —Matthew 26:40

To fruitfulness and blessing, there is no “royal road”;
The power for holy service is intercourse with God.

My soul, wait thou only upon God. —Psalm 62:5
Did it ever occur to you that if you do not hear God’s answer to prayer, it may be not because He is dumb, but because you are deaf; not because He has no answer to give, but because you have not been listening for it?

God…hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. —2 Corinthians 4:6
Christian! rest not until thou knowest the full, the unbroken shining of God in thy heart. To this end, yield to every stirring of it that shows thee some unconquered and perhaps unconquerable evil. Just bring it to the light; let the light shine upon it, and shine it out. Wait upon the Lord more than watchers for the morning, for “the path of the just is …

Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. —Galatians 6:2
However perplexed you may at any hour become about some question of truth, one refuge and resource is always at hand: you can do something for some one beside yourself.

Let this thought, …

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - April 9
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. —Psalm 23:2
This suggests the rest into which our Good Shepherd leads His flock. Life is not all toil. God gives us many quiet resting-places in our pilgrim way.
Night is one of these, when, after the day’s toil, struggle, and exhaustion, we are led aside, and the curtains are drawn to shut out the noise, and He giveth His beloved sleep, in sleep giving the wonderful blessings of renewal. The Sabbath is another of these …
