Andrew said this morning Deveraux woke up. she came into our bedroom with big eyes and said, "The rock was moved from the tomb!" He said it was like Christmas!
"It takes Almighty grace to take the next step when there is no vision and no spectator-the next step in devotion, the next step in your study, in your reading, in your kitchen; the next step in your duty, when there is no vision from God, no enthusiasm and no spectator.
Every Christian has to partake of what was the essence of the Incarnation, he must bring the thing down into flesh and blood actualities and work it out through the finger tips. We flag when there is no vision, no uplift , but just the common round, the trivial task. The thing that tells in the long run for God and for men is the steady persevering work in the unseen, and the only way to keep the life uncrushed is to live looking to God. Ask God to keep the eyes of your spirit open to the RISEN CHRIST and it will be impossible for drudgery to damp you."
Oswald Chambers, "My Upmost for His Highest"
