PROMISE FOR APRIL 11TH

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters." Psalm 23:2

Which of the Lord's sheep has not found such green pasturage of spiritual refreshment in his private devotions and studies of Divine things...and in assembling with others for study of the Word, for prayer, for testimonies of the Lord's goodness and mercy? All these opportunities and privileges...are provisions made for the sheep by the great Shepherd....The streams of truth and grace are living, but comparatively quiet waters.... These are not to be found by the sheep alone; to find them requires the leading of the spirit....Let us discriminate, discern His voice, with its truthful accent, so different from the voice of error. Strangers true sheep will not follow, for they know not the voice of strangers. They do not like its money ring, or its worldly ambition ring, or its priestcraft tone, or its contradiction of the spirit of the Divine message and method. R3269,c1,p5; c2,p1
