[Songs in the Night - November 9]
Forsake not the assembling of ourselves together. Hebrews 10:25
AS DAVID desired to be near to the tabernacle,
close to the Lord, so we, members of the Beloved,
should find ourselves longing for a closer walk with
God, a nearness to his arrangement of the mercy seat,
Christ Jesus.
This will signify a desire to be near to
the members of his body, the church, to have fellowship
with them, because the condition of things is
represented as being the "holy" of the tabernacle, with
only a veil between this and that glorious condition beyond
the veil.
And is it not so that whoever desires
to be near to the Lord and to those in fellowship with
him, along the lines of the new nature, will give heed
to the privileges of showing forth his praise by manifesting
their love for the brethren and their confidence
and faith in the Lord and in his light and wisdom and
love? Z'08-311 R4260:5 (Hymn 329)
