[Songs in the Night - July 29]
Continuing instant in prayer. Romans 12:12
PRAYER, communion with God, is indispensably
necessary to our spiritual welfare; and the appreciation
of the privilege of communion with the most High and
with our Redeemer, or the lack of such appreciation,
as the case may be, indicates tolerably clearly our fervency
or our coldness with reference to the things of
the Lord.
People may be fervent in serving schemes
or plans of their own, or human systems and theories,
and have little desire for prayer, but those who serve
the Lord and his truth from a hot, fervent heart, will
so realize their imperfection and their own inability
in the divine service, that they will desire and will
continually seek the Master's guidance and direction
with reference to the service they are rendering to him. Z'97-265 R2213:6 (Hymn 239)
