“Redeeming the Time”

Is this the desire of our hearts, dear fellow believers? “The days are evil,” but we must press forward on the heavenly way, “looking unto Jesus.” It is good to know that our God has His own witnesses everywhere, and is blessing souls. A friend writes from the village where he lives:— “What a pleasure it is to work for the Lord... Our prayers have been answered by our Lord, and we have had a few young lads decide to live for, and give their lives to, Jesus Christ. We have been praying for them.” May we not say this is the secret of success—earnest, believing prayer—and when one heart is won for Christ we little know how far the blessing may extend. What encouragement we get in God’s precious Word. May our service flow from communion with Himself, and thus “heartily to the Lord and not unto men.” “Ye serve the Lord Christ,” seeking to do His will. What a glorious, blessed privilege His service day by day, while we wait for His return. A. A. L.
