My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

JUNE The Fifth THE SPEECH OF EVENTS

ACTS xiii.14-23.

Do I sufficiently remember the witness of history? Do I reverently listen to the |great voice behind me|? God has spoken in the speech of events. |Day unto day| has uttered speech. There has been a witness in national life, sometimes quiet as a fragrance, and sometimes |loud as a vale when storms are gone.| Is it all to me as though it had never been, or is it part of the store of counsel by which I shape and guide my life?

And do I sufficiently remember my own providences, |all the way my God has led me|? When a day is over, do I carry its helpful lamp into the morrow? Do I |learn wisdom| from experience? That is surely God's purpose in the days; one is to lead on to another in the creation of an ever brightening radiance, that so at eventide it may be light.

And do I sufficiently remember that I, too, am making history for my fellows who shall succeed me? What kind of a witness will it be? Grim and full of warning, like the pillar of salt, or winsome and full of heartiness, like some |sweet Ebenezer| built by life's way? Let me pray and labour that my days may so shine with grace that all who remember me shall adore the goodness of my Lord.
