One Apple at a Time

When I was a little boy," wrote H. P. Barker, "I used to help my mother store away apples. Putting my arms around ever so many, I tried to carry them all at once. I managed for a step or two, but then out fell one, and then another, and two or three more, till the apples were rolling all over the floor.

"Mother laughed. Putting my tiny hands around one apple, she then suggested that I take that one and then carry the others in the same way.'

Mr. Barker made the following application: "Don't try to put your arms around a year or even a week. Rather say, 'Here is another day begun. Lord, help me to live it for You. Give me just now the help and strength that I need.'"

What good advice! Rather than anxiously projecting our selves beyond the present, we are to take one step at a time. If we try to carry all of tomorrow's burdens today, we may collapse under the load. Jesus said, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the (lay is its own trouble" (Matt. 6:34).

How foolish it is to borrow trouble from tomorrow! We can trust God to meet our needs every day. So let's take just one "apple" at a time. -RWD

For all His children God desires
A life of calm, not flurry;
His will for every day is this:
That they should trust, not worry

WORRY IS CARRYING A BURDEN GOD NEVER INTENDED US TO BEAR

Whatever You Ask

In the matter of prayer, the challenge for us as Christian, is nut the need for more zeal_ greater consistency. or even more faith important as these are. Rather. it is to desire above all else that God he glorified. Jesus told His disciples that the requests made in His name would he fulfilled so that "the Father mad he glorified in the Son." When that is our primary concern, we can be confident that He will answer our prayers.

In 1540. Frederick Myconius was very sick and about to die. He wrote a farewell letter to his dear friend Martin Luther. who sent back this response: "I command you in the name of God to live because I still have need of you in the work of reforming the church . . . . The Lord will never let me hear that you are dead, but will permit you to survive me. For this I am pray ing, this is my will, and may my will he done. because I seek only to glorify the name of God." Myconius. who had become too weak to talk, regained his strength and outlived Luther by 2 months.

When we ask for anything for ourselves or for others, it's always right to pray, "If what I ask will not glorify Your name, don't grant it. And if You don't. then give me the strength to glorify Your name without it." DJD

When the Spirit prompts the asking,
When the waiting heart believes,
Then we know of each petition:
"Everyone who asks receives"

PRAYER IS LAYING HOLD OF GOD'S WILLINGNESS

The Ethics of Good News

I f a scientist discovered the cure for cancer, we would expect the discovery to be shared with the world. Basic ethics requires that good news not be kept secret.

When the king of Syria laid siege to the city of Samaria, the food supply was cut off. Four men with leprosy, deciding it would be preferable to die at the hands of the Syrians than to starve, went to surrender to the enemy. But when they came to the camp, they found it deserted. The army had fled in the night.

Food lay everywhere. The four men stuffed themselves, and they were tempted to remain silent about the good news. But then the memory of Samaria with as famished inhabitants came back to them. "We are not doing right," they said (2 Ki. 7:9). So they became evangelists bearers of good news-and told others. Ultimately, evangelism comes down to this: one starving person telling another starving person where to find food.

You and I have discovered the salvation that is found in Jesus Christ. It is a breakdown of basic integrity to keep that truth to ourselves. If we have found the cure for a guilty conscience, if we have found the food of life, we are obligated to share it with others. -HwR

The Love of Christ constraineth us
To save a world from hell.
Tp Preach and reach the uttermost
And each lost sinner tell

EVANGELISM IS ONE BEGGAR TELLING ANOTHER BEGGAR WHERE TO FIND BREAD

A Mansion With Many Rooms

A elderly preacher had secretly dreaded dying and felt helpless to console others who were facing that prospect. But that all changed one day when he was packing to move away from the town where he had ministered for many years.

When all his household goods had been placed in the van. he lingered for a time in the house where his children had been born and where he had enjoyed so many hours of study and communion with the Lord. It was as if he couldn't let go of all the joyous memories of the past. Just then a close friend. who had been helping with the packing, sensed his hesitation and tapped him on the shoulder. "Pastor, your new home is better than this one." Those words struck home. With an insight born of the Holy Spirit, the pastor suddenly realized that his home in heaven would be far superior to the finest home he would ever have on earth. It was a turning point in his spiritual growth, and after that he no longer dreaded dying.

Yes, right now Jesus is preparing a special place for each of His children in that eternal mansion with its many rooms. Although we cannot fully grasp all that this mean, we need not fear death. Our new home will be so much better than am thim, we will ever base on earth. HUB

I have a home above,
From sin and sorrow free;
A mansion which eternal love
Designed and formed for me

HEAVEN FOR THE CHRISTIAN IS BEST SPELLED H-O-M-E
