Days of Heaven Upon Earth

Devotional For

September 25



      "The faith of the Son of God" (Gal. ii. 20).
      
      Let us learn the secret even of our faith. It is the faith of Christ, springing in our heart and trusting in our trials.
      
      So shall we always sing, "The life that I now live I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Thus looking off unto Jesus, "the Author and Finisher of our faith," we shall find that instead of struggling to reach the promises of God, we shall lie down upon them in blessed repose and be borne up by them with the faith which is no more our own than the promises upon which it rests.
      
      Each new need will find us leaning afresh on Him for the grace to trust and to overcome.
      
      Further we see here the true spirit of prayer. It is the Spirit of Christ in us. "In the midst of the church will I sing praises unto thee." Christ still sings these praises in the trusting heart and lifts our prayers into songs of victory! This is the true spirit of prayer, like Paul and Silas in the prison at Philippi, turning prayer into praise, night into day, the night of sorrow into the morning of joy, and when He is in us, the spirit of faith, He will also become the spirit of praise.
