Our High Calling — Day 244 of 275 Charmed With Christ's Love, November 30 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:1, 2 . When we are tempted to place our affections on any earthly object that has a tendency to absorb our love, we must seek grace to turn from it, and not allow it to come between us and our God. We want to keep before the mind's eye the mansions which Jesus has gone to prepare for us. We must...

Our High Calling — Day 243 of 275 Seeing Him Who Is Invisible, November 29 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter.... By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Hebrews 11:24-27 . Moses ... lived as seeing Him who is invisible, and was therefore able to count the reproaches of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. If men would live in this way, we should see their faces aglow with the glory of God; for they would be viewing the ...

Our High Calling — Day 242 of 275 “On Unto Perfection,” November 28 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Ephesians 4:13 . It is a great, a solemn work to obtain a moral fitness for the society of the pure and the blest.... Only by conforming to the Word of God can we hope to come to “the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.” But we must do this, or we shall never enter heaven. Without purity and holiness of ...

Our High Calling — Day 241 of 275 “Keep Thyself Pure,” November 27 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8 . To know what constitutes purity of mind, soul, and body is the highest class of education. Paul the apostle sums up in his letter to Timothy the attainments possible for him, by saying “Keep thyself pure.” 46 Letter 145, 1897 . It is the special work of Satan in these last days to take possession of the minds of the youth, to corrupt their thoughts, and inflame their passions.... All are free moral agents. ...

Our High Calling — Day 240 of 275 Examine Yourselves, November 26 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2 Corinthians 13:5 . “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith.” Many ... may immediately respond, “Why, yes; I am in the faith, I believe every point of the truth.” But do you practice what you believe? Are you at peace with God and with your brethren? Can you pray with sincerity, “Forgive us our debts, as we ...

Our High Calling — Day 239 of 275 Let God's Hand Mold the Clay, November 25 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we are all the work of thy hand. Isaiah 64:8 . We do not know what the Lord will do for us, if we will come into line. God sees what He can make of man. There are possibilities which our feeble faith does not discern. “Ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 . He sees all the now unamiable traits of character in man, and He knows, if men will learn the meekness...

Our High Calling — Day 238 of 275 A Time to Be Blind and Deaf, November 24 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. Isaiah 42:19, 20 . What kind of blindness is this? It is a blindness that will not allow our eyes to contemplate evil. It will not allow our eyes to rest upon iniquity. It will not grasp the things of sight and lose eternity out of its reckoning.... We want to see aright, ...

Our High Calling — Day 237 of 275 The Stamina of Pure Religion, November 23 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. Psalm 119:45 . There are some who talk in a regretful way concerning the restraints that the religion of the Bible imposes upon those who would follow its teachings. They seem to think that restraint is a great disadvantage, but we have reason to thank God with all our heart that He has raised a heavenly barrier between us and the ground of the enemy. There are certain tendencies of the natural heart that many think must be followed in ord...

Our High Calling — Day 236 of 275 No Taproot? November 22 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58 . In order to be firmly anchored, there must be something firm to hold us; and nothing will avail until Christ takes possession of the soul.... Many who now appear strong, and talk in vindication of the truth, are not rooted and grounded. They have no tap-root; and when the storms of opposition and persecution come, they are...

Our High Calling — Day 235 of 275 Rooted in Christ, November 21 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Psalm 92:12 . The Christian is likened to the cedar of Lebanon. I have read that this tree does more than send down a few short roots into the yielding loam. It sends strong roots deep down into the earth, and strikes down farther and still farther in search of a still stronger hold. And in the fierce blast of the tempest, it stands firm, held by its network of cables beneath. So the Christian strikes root deep int...

Our High Calling — Day 234 of 275 A Superficial Experience Not Enough, November 20 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. Philippians 2:15 . There is always danger of being satisfied with a superficial work; there is always danger that souls will not anchor themselves in God, but be content to drift hither and thither, the sport of Satan's temptations.... The work of the Spirit of God in the heart will develop true penitence, which will no...

Our High Calling — Day 233 of 275 The Foundation of All True Peace, November 19 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. John 16:33 . “That in me ye might have peace”—peace in Christ, peace through belief of the truth. The Comforter is called the Spirit of truth because there is comfort and hope and peace in the truth. Falsehood cannot give genuine peace; this can be received only through the truth.... Jesus prayed that His followers might be one; but we are not to sacrifice the truth in order to secure this union, for...

Our High Calling — Day 232 of 275 Christ's Legacy of Peace, November 18 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 . Shortly before His crucifixion Christ bequeathed to His disciples a legacy of peace.... This peace is not the peace that comes through conformity with the world. It is an internal rather than an external peace. Without will be wars and fightings, through the opposition of avowed enemies, and the coldness and suspicion of those who...
