My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

FEBRUARY The Twenty-eighth THE TEST OF FULNESS

DEUTERONOMY viii.1-10.

|And thou shalt eat and be full, and thou shalt bless the Lord thy God.| Fulness is surely a more searching test than want. Fulness induces sleep and forgetfulness. Many a man fights a good fight with Apollyon in the narrow way, who lapses into sleepy indifference on the Enchanted Ground. Men often sit down to a full table without |grace.| Pain cries out to God, while boisterous health strides along in heedlessness. Yes, it is our fulness that constitutes our direst peril. |This was the iniquity of Sodom, fulness of bread and abundance of idleness.|

And so our tests may come on the sunny day. A nation's supreme tests may come in its prosperity. The sunshine may do more damage than the lightning. The soul may falter even in Beulah land, where |the sun shines night and day.|

Prayer must not, therefore, tarry until sickness and adversity come. We must |pray without ceasing| in the cloudless noon, lest we are stricken with |the arrow that flieth by day.| We must seek the eternal strength when no apparent enemy crouches at our gate, and when our easy road is lined with luxuriant flowers and fruit.
