Subject: Trusting in the King |
Bible Note: "The sisters of Lazarus acquainted the Lord with the desperate condition of their brother, appealed to His love, and then left the case in His hands, to be dealt with as He saw best. They were not so irreverent as to tell Him what to do. In this they have left all praying souls a worthy example which we do well to follow. 'Commit thy way unto the Lord': that is our responsibility. 'Trust also in Him' [Psalm 37:5]; that is our happy privilege. 'Trust also in Him,' not dictate to Him, and not demand from Him. People talk of 'claiming' from God. But grace cannot be 'claimed,' and all is of grace [Ephesians 2:8]. The very 'throne' we approach is one of grace [Hebrews 4:16]. How utterly incongruous then to talk of 'claiming' anything from the Sitter on such a throne!" —A. W. Pink (1886–1952) |
