DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
A cool head and a steady
hand are invaluable assets in
troublesome times. The psalm
ist informs us that the man
who trusts in God will, be
neither disturbed or dismayed,
no matter how numerous or
mighty are the assaults
against him. Nothing can un
dermine his stability. The man
who trusts In God can say of
all his enemies, even as Ath
anasius said of Julian who
persecuted him: "He Is a mist
and will' soon disappear." The
question might be asked: How
may these articulated bones of
ours become the formidable
force before which both ad
versity and adversary will be
obliged to retire. The answer
to tills question Is simple. Let
the breath of eternal God be.
breathed Into us. As a frail
wire, plus the electric current
can do more than massive
cables without it, so can the
man in whom God's spirit lives
do more than he who knows
not God. The secret of a pow
erful and efficient life is God.
Shakespeare said: "Conscience
doth make cowards of us all."
But through faith In God, con
science, mind, heart, are
strengthened. Life, then, is
marked by calmness, self-possession
and firmness. John
Wesley, even as the darkness
settled upon his earthly life,
fell asleep whispering "the
best of all is 'Immanuel God
with us.' " That is life's most
steadying truth, a truth that
makes us strong In death and
strong in life. Amen.
Mrs. Caraway Here Mrs. J. A.
