Where to find fruit


GUATEMALA'S NATIONAL FLOWER.



Where to find fruit

‘From me is thy fruit found.’ Hosea 14:8

Suggested Further Reading: John 15:1–8

If I could bear fruit without my God, I would loathe the accursed thing, for it would be the fruit of pride—the fruit of an arrogant setting up of myself in independence of the Creator. 

No; the Lord deliver us from all faith, all hope, all love which do not spring from himself! May we have none of our own-manufactured graces about us.

 May we have nothing but that which is minted in heaven, and is therefore made of the pure metal. May we have no grace, pray no prayer, do no works, serve God in nothing except as we depend upon his strength and receive his Spirit. 

Any experience which comes short of a knowledge that we must get all from God, is a deceiving experience. But if you have been brought to find everything in him, beloved, this is a mark of a child of God.

 Cultivate a spirit of deep humiliation before the Most High; seek to know more your nothingness, and to prove more the omnipotence of the eternal God. There are two books I have tried to read, but I have not got through the first page yet. 

The first is the book of my own ignorance, and emptiness, and nothingness—what a great book is that! It will take us all our lives to read it, and I question whether Methuselah ever got to the last page.

 There is another book I must read, or else the first volume will drive me mad—it is the book of God’s all-sufficiency. 
I have not got through the first word of that, much less the first page, but reading the two together, I would spend all my days. 

This is heaven’s own literature, the wisdom which comes from above. Less than nothing I can boast, and yet ‘I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.’ 

‘Having nothing yet possessing all things.’

For meditation: 

Apparent fruit produced by our own efforts independently of God is no better than a mirage; it will vanish upon inspection on the Last Day (1 Corinthians 3:12–15). Fruit which is derived from Christ and acknowledged to be produced in us by him will abide in abundance to God’s glory (John 15:5,8,16). Joseph did not forget the source of his fruitfulness (Genesis 41:52).

Christ our life, Soon to appear

GUATEMALA, CENTRO AMERICA



Christ our life—soon to appear

‘When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.’ 
Colossians 3:4

Suggested Further Reading: 
1 John 2:28–3:3

Christ will appear. 
The text speaks of it as a fact to be taken for granted. 
‘When Christ, who is our life, shall appear.’

 It is not a matter of question in the Christian church whether Christ will appear or not. Has not Christ appeared once? Yes, after a certain sort.

 I remember reading a quaint expression of some old divine, that the book of Revelation might quite as well be called an obvelation, for it was rather a hiding than a revealing of things to come.

 So, when Jesus came it was hardly a revealing, it was a hiding of our Lord. It is true that he was ‘manifest in the flesh,’ but it is equally true that the flesh shrouded and concealed his glory. 

The first manifestation was very partial; it was Christ seen through a glass, Christ in the mist of grief, and the cloud of humiliation. Christ is yet to appear in the strong sense of the word ‘appearing;’ he is to come out and shine forth. 

He is to leave the robes of scorn and shame behind, and to come in the glory of the Father and all his holy angels with him. This is the constant teaching of the word of God, and the constant hope of the church, that Christ will appear.

 A thousand questions at once suggest themselves: How will Christ appear? When will Christ appear? Where will Christ appear? and so on. What God answers we may enquire, but some of our questions are mere impertinence. 

How will Christ appear? I believe Christ will appear in person. Whenever I think of the second coming, I never can tolerate the idea of a spiritual coming. 

That always seems to me to be the most transparent folly that can possibly be put together; Christ cannot come spiritually, because he is always here: ‘Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.’

For meditation:

 Review Christ’s three appearances—past (Hebrews 9:26), present (Hebrews 9:24), prospective (Hebrews 9:28). We will not require any spokesmen to inform us of his second coming (Matthew 24:23–27); every eye will see him (Revelation 1:7).

I will cause the shower to come down in his season



"I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing."
Ezekiel 34:26

Here is sovereign mercy--"I will give them the shower in its season." Is it not sovereign, divine mercy?--for who can say, 
"I will give them showers," except God? There is only one voice which can speak to the clouds, and bid them beget the rain. 

Who sendeth down the rain upon the earth? Who scattereth the showers upon the green herb? Do not I, the Lord? So grace is the gift of God, and is not to be created by man. 

It is also needed grace. 
What would the ground do without showers? 
You may break the clods, you may sow your seeds, but what can you do without the rain? As absolutely needful is the divine blessing. In vain you labour, until God the plenteous shower bestows, and sends salvation down. 

Then, it is plenteous grace. "I will send them showers." 
It does not say, "I will send them drops," but "showers."
 So it is with grace. 

If God gives a blessing, he usually gives it in such a measure that there is not room enough to receive it. 
Plenteous grace! Ah! we want plenteous grace to keep us humble, to make us prayerful, to make us holy; plenteous grace to make us zealous, to preserve us through this life, and at last to land us in heaven.

 We cannot do without saturating showers of grace. 
Again, it is seasonable grace. "I will cause the shower to come down in his season." 
What is thy season this morning? 
Is it the season of drought? 
Then that is the season for showers. 
Is it a season of great heaviness and black clouds? 
Then that is the season for showers. "

As thy days so shall thy strength be."
 And here is a varied blessing. 
"I will give thee showers of blessing." 
The word is in the plural.
 All kinds of blessings God will send. 
All God's blessings go together, like links in a golden chain.
 If he gives converting grace, he will also give comforting grace. He will send "showers of blessing."

 Look up today, O parched plant, and open thy leaves and flowers for a heavenly watering.

His bow abode in strength,

GUATEMALA, GUATEMALA.

"His bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob."
Genesis 49:24

That strength which God gives to his Josephs is real strength
it is not a boasted valour, a fiction, a thing of which men talk, but which ends in smoke; it is true--divine strength. 

Why does Joseph stand against temptation? Because God gives him aid. There is nought that we can do without the power of God. All true strength comes from "the mighty God of Jacob."

 Notice in what a blessedly familiar way God gives this strength to Joseph--"The arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob." 

Thus God is represented as putting his hands on Joseph's hands, placing his arms on Joseph's arms. Like as a father teaches his children, so the Lord teaches them that fear him. He puts his arms upon them. 

Marvellous condescension!
 God Almighty, Eternal, Omnipotent, stoops from his throne and lays his hand upon the child's hand, stretching his arm upon the arm of Joseph, that he may be made strong! This strength was also covenant strength, for it is ascribed to "the mighty God of Jacob." 

Now, wherever you read of the God of Jacob in the Bible, you should remember the covenant with Jacob. Christians love to think of God's covenant. 

All the power, all the grace, all the blessings, all the mercies, all the comforts, all the things we have, flow to us from the well-head, through the covenant. 

If there were no covenant, then we should fail indeed; for all grace proceeds from it, as light and heat from the sun. No angels ascend or descend, save upon that ladder which Jacob saw, at the top of which stood a covenant God. 

Christian, it may be that the archers have sorely grieved you, and shot at you, and wounded you, but still your bow abides in strength; be sure, then, to ascribe all the glory to Jacob's God.
