Bowen's Daily Meditations
"Make thy way straight before my face." - Psalms 5:8.
It is especially when a feeling has taken possession of the mind that the Lord calls us to enter some new sphere, to engage in some new labor for his glory, that we long for an explicit revelation of his will. It is to be feared that too many grieve the Spirit of God by dismissing this conviction of duty from their mind, when there cometh not some plain providential notice of what the Lord would have them to do. The Lord still teaches by his word, and the way is this. He shows us the greatness of the love of Christ, and constrains us by this to desire to be more engaged for the glory of God. He teaches us to observe our position, our aptitude and various circumstances. He takes away from our mind all bias, the great impediment to right judgment. And he gives us a quick understanding to perceive the suggestions and monitions of the Spirit. He gives us faith, and a willingness to go forward without a preliminary sense of strength.
