Every Drop Of Rain Hits Its Appointed

May We Sit At The Foot Of The Cross; And There Learn What Sin Has Done, What Justice Has Done, What Love Has Done.

I Compare The Troubles Which We Have To Undergo In The Course Of The Year To A Great Bundle Of Sticks, Far Too Large For Us To Lift. But God Does Not Require Us To Carry The Whole At Once. He Mercifully Unties The Bundle, And Gives Us First One Stick, Which We Are To Carry Today, And Then Another, Which We Are To Carry Tomorrow, And So On. This We Might Easily Manage, If We Would Only Take The Burden Appointed For Us Each Day; But We Choose To Increase Our Troubles By Carrying Yesterday's Stick Over Again Today, And Adding Tomorrow's Burden To Our Load, Before We Are Required To Bear It.

If The Lord Be With Us, We Have No Cause Of Fear. His Eye Is Upon Us, His Arm Over Us, His Ear Open To Our Prayer - His Grace Sufficient, His Promise Unchangeable.

I Look Upon Prayer-meetings As The Most Profitable Exercises (excepting The Public Preaching) In Which Christians Can Engage. They Have A Direct Tendency To Kill A Worldly, Trifling Spirit, And To Draw Down A Divine Blessing Upon All Our Concerns, Compose Differences, And Enkindle (at Least Maintain) The Flames Of Divine Love Amongst Brethren.

Thou Art Coming To A King, Large Petitions With Thee Bring, For His Grace And Power Are Such None Can Ever Ask Too Much.
