PERHAPS eight out of ten of the Christians you meet are engaged with the state of their health, speaking spiritually. “I am so cold,” “I am so heavy,” “I am very dull,” “Completely lifeless,” and similar expressions, are most common. How is it that when there is this prevailing sense of soul-sickness the great Physician is so little sought! There has been faith to come to Jesus for life, and for salvation, but there is not faith to go to Him for the needs of every day.
The only way for the prosperity of the soul is continual going to Christ, looking to Him and leaning upon Him hour by how and moment by moment. The life of faith is continued dependence on the Lord, and the Lord is ever ready to be continually depended upon. Faith in Him for each thing in Life will have the effect of calling out praise Df Him, instead of the prevailing exclamation about self.
