My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

SEPTEMBER The Twenty-seventh TAKE AND EAT

JOHN vi.52-63.

There is, first of all, appropriation. I must |stretch out| |lame hands of faith|; and |take| before I |eat.| In the lives of many Christians there is too much asking and too little taking. If it were only rightly regarded, prayer is companionship as well as petition, and companionship is literally significant of the sharing of bread. In every season of communion a part must be assigned to the taking of the things for which we have prayed. |Receive ye the Holy Ghost.|

And there is assimilation. We must |eat| as well as |take.| It is in the exercises of obedience that we digest and incorporate the bread of life. Without our obedience the living Lord never becomes |part of ourselves.| We never |become one in the bundle of life| with the Lord our God. And truth which is not assimilated becomes a drug. Instead of being a |savour of life unto life,| it becomes a |savour of death unto death.|

And there is vitalization. The assimilated bread of life makes everything alive. Every faculty in my being feels the touch of divine inspiration. It is native bread for native power, and everything is renewed.
