IT is a blessed experience when one has learned to find everything in God. When the sense of His presence and the realization of His loving-kindness fills the soul, and He Himself is the portion of our cup, we can well cry, “My cup runneth over.”
Yet we are often so foolish and imagine that we can find satisfaction elsewhere than in Christ Himself; but when all else fails and we turn to Him, we find that He is all we need to satisfy our hearts and to guide and direct our steps, as we pursue our pilgrim way through this world on to the next that remains for the people of God.
When we find our inheritance in Him we are no longer distressed and troubled because of difficult conditions which we have to meet as we walk in fellowship with Him through this world.
“Father, whate’er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign will denies,
Accepted at the throne of grace
Let this petition rise.
Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
From every murmur free,
The blessings of Thy grace impart,
And make me live to Thee.
Let the sweet thought that Thou art mine
My life and death attend,
Thy presence through my journey shine,
And crown that journey’s end.”
—Mrs. Steele.
