Days of Heaven Upon Earth

Devotional For

July 17

      "By one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified" (Heb. x. 14).
      
      Are you missing what belongs to you? He has promised to sanctify you. He has promised sanctification for you by coming to you Himself and being made of God to you sanctification.
      
      Jesus is my sanctification. Having Him I have obedience, rest, patience and everything I need. He is alive forevermore.
      
      If you have Him nothing can be against you. Your temptations will not be against you; your bad temper will not be against you; your hard life, your circumstances, even the devil himself will not be against you.
      
      Every time he comes to attack you, he will only root you deeper in Christ. You will become a coward at the thought of being alone; you will be thrown on Jesus every time a trouble assails you. All things henceforth will work together for good to your own soul. Since God is for you nothing can be against you.
      
      My heavenly Bridegroom sought me and called me one glad day,
          "Arise, my love, my fair one, arise and come away,"
      I listened to His pleading, I gave Him all my heart,
          And we are one forever and nevermore shall part.
