salvation He imparts, God s great word to him is To-day. In
Christ all the blessedness of the great eternity is
gathered up
in an ever-present Now : the one need of the believer is to know
it, to respond to it, and to meet the To-day, the Now, my child !
of God s grace with the To-day, the Even now, my
his faith.
Father ! of
If you would understand the meaning of this divine To-day,
look at it in its wondrous setting. Even as the Holy Ghost
saith, To-day. Satan s word is ever To-morrow, man s favourite
word, too, To-morrow. Even with the child of God the word
of unbelief is too often To-morrow ;
God s demand is too great
for to-day ;
God s promise too high ;
we hope
it will come
easier later on. The Holy Ghost saith, To-day. That means
that He who is the mighty power of God is Himself ready to
work in us all that God wills and asks ;
it is He who is each
moment pleading for immediate surrender, for a present trust,
because He bears with Him the power of a present salvation.
To-day ! it is a word of wonderful promise. It tells that
To-day, this very moment, the wondrous love of God is for
thee it is even now waiting to be poured out into thy heart ;
that To-day, all that Christ has done, and is now doing in
heaven, and is able to do within thee this it
very day,
is within
thy reach. To-day the Holy Ghost,
in whom there is the
power to know and claim and enjoy
all that the Father and the
Son are waiting to bestow, to-day the Holy Ghost is within
thee, sufficient for every need, equal to every emergency.
With
every call we find in our Bible to full and entire surrender ;
with every promise we read of grace for the supply of temporal
and spiritual need ;
with every prayer we breathe, and every
longing that rules in our heart, there is the Spirit of promise
whispering, To-day. Even as the Holy Ghost saith, To-day.
