God at the Center

A Christian is successful in his religious life, not in proportion to his activity or cleverness, but in proportion to his humility. The steadying, quieting sense of God's humble presence is the supreme need of our lives as representa- tives of heaven. Reverence and spirituality will be the natural result of the steadying influence of Christ in the life. Such a sense of His presence, alone, can meet successfully the demands upon the Christian in this strange day. The possession of personal power comes when by faith we lay hold of His matchless promises to be with us and in us. "Behold I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I WILL COME IN to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Rev. 3:20. We cannot hope to build a life acceptable to God and powerful for Him without full assurance of His divine presence. We may know and sense His presence if we will. To attempt to build the structure of our religious life with- out the certainty of His abiding presence is to put mortar between its stones which driving rains and early frosts will crack and crumble. There must be no uncertainty at this important point. The moment we cease to rest heavily upon God we turn back the hands of our clock of progress in the Christian life to the danger point. Practically all the difficulties of those to whom the Christian life is a problem spring from one simple fact: the loss of the sense of God's presence in the heart. We may be haunted by disappointment, torn by anxiety, burdened by uncertainty, yet we may know that we are keeping step with God's eternal purposes if we are certain of His presence in our lives. All will right them- selves if God is with us guiding us through. The only adequate experience for you and me in this confused hour, is not to seek to fight our way out of the darkness and mire but to put God back at the center of our living, and submit fully to Him.
