Applying this principle then to our own time and circumstances, we see that the truth for us to maintain is, Christ and the Church, according to God’s original design. What we have to do is to seek, it may be in feebleness, but let it be in truth, to learn and to carry out the Lord’s will for the present time. The Lord being in the midst, and the Spirit free to work by whom He will, there will be authority, and edification, and blessing. The question for us is, Are we obeying God, and acting according to His mind? The Lord help us to look to our ways that they are thus subject to His will.
Those who are exercised as to the intricacies of the present, may be assured that there is a scripturally marked path which God will show to them, if they but wait on Him. My desire has been to present, however feebly and imperfectly, the principles which will guide a soul in seeking to find it out, and to walk in it. Let no one be satisfied with anything short of this. It is not enough to have the best thing going; faith looks for the very thing God has given in order to please Him, or even to satisfy the cravings of a heart that really desires to do His will.
