With God at Dawn — Day 91 of 377 Counsel Belongs to the Lord, April 1 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. Proverbs 8:14 . Jesus came to represent the character of the Father, and He sent His disciples into the world to represent the character of Christ; He has given us His Word to point out the way of life, and He has not left us simply to carry that Word, but has also promised to give it efficiency by the power of the Holy Spirit. Is there need, then, that any should walk in uncertainty, grieving that they do not know and experie...

With God at Dawn — Day 90 of 377 We Should Thank Him for His Precious Promises, March 31 God's Promises Do Not Fail Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3 . Do we remember that the mercies of the Lord are new every morning, and that His faithfulness faileth not?

Revelation 3:20 . I saw that many have so much rubbish piled up at the door of their heart that they cannot get the door open. Some have difficulties between themselves and their brethren to remove.

With God at Dawn — Day 88 of 377 God’s Promises Are Conditional on Obedience, March 29 God's Promises Do Not Fail If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7 . All His gifts are promised on condition of obedience. God has a heaven full of blessings for those who will co-operate with Him. All who obey Him may with confidence claim the fulfilment of His promises. But we must show a firm, undeviating trust in God. Often He delays to answer us, in order to try our faith or test the genuin...

With God at Dawn — Day 87 of 377 We Must Believe, March 28 God's Promises Do Not Fail And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22 . He who blessed the nobleman at Capernaum is just as desirous of blessing us. But like the afflicted father, we are often led to seek Jesus by the desire for some earthly good; and upon the granting of our request we rest our confidence in His love. The Saviour longs to give us a greater blessing than we ask; and He delays the answer to our request that He may show us the evil of o...

With God at Dawn — Day 86 of 377 We Must Claim God’s Promises, March 27 God's Promises Do Not Fail Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

If you come with true contrition, you need not feel that yo...

With God at Dawn — Day 85 of 377 He Is Not Slack Concerning His Promises, March 26 God's Promises Do Not Fail The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 . With the rich promises of the Bible before you, can you still give place to doubt? Can you believe that when the poor sinner longs to return, longs to forsake his sins, the Lord sternly withholds him from coming to His feet in repentance? Away with such tho...

With God at Dawn — Day 84 of 377 Continual Guidance Is Promised, March 25 Blessings Promised And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. Isaiah 58:11 . We are to exercise wisdom and judgment in every action of life, that we may not, by reckless movements, place ourselves in trial.

With God at Dawn — Day 83 of 377 He Protects in Times of Trouble, March 24 Blessings Promised For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. Psalm 27:5 . The Lord has shown me repeatedly that it is contrary to the Bible to make any provision for our temporal wants in the time of trouble. I saw that if the saints had food laid up by them, or in the field in the time of trouble, when sword, famine, and pestilence are in the land, it would be taken from them by violent han...

With God at Dawn — Day 82 of 377 His Portion Is His People, March 23 Blessings Promised For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. Deuteronomy 32:9, 10 . Christ designs that heaven’s order, heaven’s plan of government, heaven’s divine harmony, shall be represented in His church on earth. Thus in His people He is glorified. Through them the Sun of Righteousness will shin...

Instead of talking of your doubts, break away from them in the strength of Jesus, and let light shine into your soul by letting your voice express confidence and trust in God. I know that the Lord is very nigh to give you victory, and I say to you, Be helped, be strengthened, be lifted out of and away from the dark dungeo...

With God at Dawn — Day 80 of 377 Faithfulness Rewarded, March 21 Blessings Promised A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. Proverbs 28:20 . It is conscientious attention to what the world terms “little things” that makes life a success. Little deeds of charity, little acts of self-denial, speaking simple words of helpfulness, watching against little sins—this is Christianity. A grateful acknowledgment of daily blessings, a wise improvement of daily opportunities, a diligent cultivati...

With God at Dawn — Day 79 of 377 He Understands When We Are Tempted, March 20 Blessings Promised For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Hebrews 2:18 . The tempter can never compel us to do evil. He cannot control minds unless they are yielded to his control. The will must consent, faith must let go its hold upon Christ before Satan can exercise his power upon us. But every sinful desire we cherish affords him a foothold. Every point in which we fail of meeting the divine standard, is an open door by which h...

With God at Dawn — Day 78 of 377 God Withholds No Good Thing, March 19 Blessings Promised For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11 . The promises of God are full and abundant, and there is no need for anyone to depend upon humanity for strength. To all that call upon Him, God is near to help and succor.

As we read the Word of God, how plain it appears that His people are to be peculiar and distinct from the unbelieving world around them. Our position is interesting and fearful; living in the last days, how important that we imitate the example of Christ, and walk even as He w...

With God at Dawn — Day 76 of 377 The Father Seeks True Worshipers, March 17 God Seeks and Calls Us But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him. John 4:23 . We are living in an age when all should especially give heed to the injunction of the Saviour, “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.” One of your strong temptations is to irreverence. God is high and holy; and to the humble, believing soul, His house on earth, the place where His ...

With God at Dawn — Day 75 of 377 We Are Called According to His Purpose, March 16 God Seeks and Calls Us Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. 2 Timothy 1:9 . “Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
