OH 16:24{Why ask a little when we may ask much? The very next time we want to speak or write a word for Jesus (and of course that ought to be today), let us ask Him to give us not merely a general idea what to say, but to give us literally every single word, and "they shall be withal fitted in thy lips." For He will not say, "Thou hast asked a hard thing," though it is far more than asking for the mantle of any prophet. He says, "Behold, I have put My words in thy mouth." This was not for Jeremiah alone, for soon after we read, "He that hath My word, let him speak My word faithfully" (for we must not overlook our responsibility in the matter); and then follows the grand declaration of its power, even when spoken by feeble human lips: "Is not My word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" "Behold, I will make My words in thy mouth fire." If we are not even sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, how much less to speak anything! "Have I now any power at all to say anything? The word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak." We would rather have it so, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. Our ascended Lord has said, "All power is given unto Me. Go ye therefore... and lo I am with you alway." This is enough for me; and I trust His word.
He is with thee! in thy service He is with thee "certainly,”
Filling with the Spirit's power.
Giving in the needing hour His own messages by thee.
He is with thee! With thy spirit, with thy lips and with thy pen;
In the quiet preparation.
In the heart-bowed congregation, nevermore alone again.
