May 7 – Against the Tide
The oarsman, trusting in Me, does not lean on his oars and drift with the tide, trusting to the current.
Nay, more often – once I have shown the way – it is against the tide you must direct all your effort. And even when difficulties come, it is by your effort that they will be surmounted. But always strength and the Joy in the doing you can have through Me.
My fishermen-disciples did not find the fishes ready on the shore in their nets. I take man’s efforts and bless that. I need man’s effort – he needs My blessing. This partnership it is that means success.
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13

March 10 – Turn It To Good
Never flinch. My standard-bearers must you ever be. Bear your standard high.
Life has its dangers and difficulties, but real as these seem, the moment you see in them a power of evil which will in response to your faith be forced to work in some way for your good, in that moment of recognition evil and danger cease to have any power over you.
This is a wonderful truth. Believe it. Rejoice in it.
