Lesson 52: Kept by the Power of God, part 10

I close by asking if you are willing to experience to the very full the heavenly keeping for the heavenly inheritance? Robert Murray M'Cheyne says, “Oh, God, make me as holy as a pardoned sinner can be made." If that prayer is in your heart, come now, and let us enter into a covenant with the everlasting and omnipotent Jehovah afresh, and in great helplessness, but in great restfulness, place ourselves in His hands. Then as we enter into our covenant, let us have the one prayer—that we may believe fully that the everlasting God is going to be our Companion, holding our hand every moment of the day; our Keeper, watching over us without a moment's interval; our Father, delighting to reveal Himself in our souls always. He has the power to let the sunshine of His love be with us all day. Do not be afraid because you have your business that you cannot have God with you always. Learn the lesson that the natural sun shines upon you all day, and you enjoy its light, and wherever you are you have the sun; God takes care that it shines upon you. God will take care that His own divine light shines upon you, and that you shall abide in that light, if you will only trust Him for it. Let us trust God to do that with a great and entire trust.

Here is the omnipotence of God, and here is faith reaching out to the measure of that omnipotence. Shall we not say, “All that that omnipotence can do, I am going to trust my God for"? Are not the two sides of this heavenly life wonderful? God's omnipotence covering me, and my will in its littleness resting in that omnipotence, and rejoicing in it!

Moment by moment, I'm kept in His love;
Moment by moment, I've life from above;
Looking to Jesus, till glory does shine;
Moment by moment, Oh Lord, I am Yours.
