Intimate knowledge of God is possible if we habitually search His Holy Scriptures & translate what we find into obedience.

God delights to increase the faith of His children. We ought, instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them from God's hands as a means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.

The more I am in a position to be tried in faith with reference to my body, my family, my service for the Lord, my business, etc., the more shall I have opportunity of seeing God's help and deliverance and every fresh instance, in which He helps and delivers me, will tend towards the increase of my faith.

Now what is food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God and here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water passes through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering it over and applying it to our hearts.

Image
At last I saw Christ as my Saviour. I believed in Him and gave myself to Him. The burden rolled from off me, and a great love for Christ filled my soul. That was more than fifty years ago. I loved Jesus Christ then, but I loved Him more the year after, and more the year after that, and more every year since.

The word of God is our only standard, and the Holy Spirit our only teacher.

In the greatest difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities, He has never failed me but because I was enabled by His grace to trust Him He has always appeared for my help. I delight in speaking well of His name.

Image
There was a day when I died died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes and will died to the world, its approval or censure died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God.

Often the work of the Lord itself may be a temptation to keep us from that communion with Him which is so essential to the benefit of our own souls.
