Where is he?


“Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, where is he…John 7:11”

Let us try to answer this question.

Is he at the bottom of your heart?

Is he at the root of your joys?

Is he on the throne of your heart?  

Is he near you by constant converse?

Is his presence manifested in your spirit, your words, and your actions?

Is he before you, the end of your journey, the terminus towards which you are daily hastening?

Our glorious Master is always at home, but does not always hold his receptions in the same chamber. One while he will see us in his closet, and anon in his great hall. Today he meets us in the porch, and tomorrow in the innermost room. In reading the Bible I meet him in his library, in working for him I commune with him in the garden. When full of hope I walk with him on the housetop, at another time I wait for him in the secret places of the stairs. It is well to be in the parlor where he talks in sermons or in his drawing-room where he converses in holy fellowship; but the best room of the house is that wherein he spreads his table, and makes himself to be our bread and wine. In any case, the one desire of our heart is to find him, and live upon him.

I am tempted to do wrong:

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”—1 Corinthians 10:13

Talents:  

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”...James 1:17.
