Learn the Divine Skill of Making God All Things to You

Here's something to consider . . .

"God, our God, shall bless us."  - Psalm 67:6

It is strange how little use we make of the spiritual blessings that God gives us, but it is even stranger that we make such little use of God Himself.  Though He is "our God," we scarcely give ourselves to Him, and we ask so little of Him.  How seldom do we seek counsel at the hands of the Lord!  How often do we go about our business without seeking His guidance!  In our troubles how we constantly struggle to bear our burdens ourselves instead of casting them upon the Lord, that He may sustain us!  This is not because we may not, for the Lord seems to say, "I am yours, soul; come and make use of Me as you will.  You may freely come to My store, and the more you come, the more welcome you will be."  It is our own fault if we do not enjoy the riches of our God.  Since you have such a friend, and He invites you, draw from Him daily,  Never be wanting while you have a God to go to; never fear or faint while you have God to help you; go to your treasure and take whatever you need -  there is  all that you can ever want.  Learn the divine skill of making God all things to you.  He can supply you with everything; or better still, He can be everything to you.. Let me urge you, then, to make use of your God.  Make use of Him in prayer.  Go to Him often, because He is your God.  Will you fail to use such a great privilege?  Run to Him; tell Him all your needs.  Use Him constantly by faith at all times.  If some dark providence has cast a shadow on you, use God as a sun; if some strong enemy has attacked you, find in Jehovah a shield, for He is a sun and shield to His people.  If you have lost your way in the mazes of life, use him as a guide, for He will direct you.  Whatever you are, and wherever you are, remember, God is just what you want and just where you want, and that He can do everything you want.
