Devotional For

December 5

      "With a perfect heart to make David King" (I. Chron. xii. 38).
      
      "What is the supreme purpose of our life? They were all of one heart to make David king." Is this our purpose, to prepare the Bride, to prepare the world, to prepare His way? Does it dwarf and dim all other ambitions, all other cares?
      
      Does it fill and satisfy every capacity, every power, every desire? Does it absorb every moment, every energy, every resource? Does it give direction and tone to every plan and work of life?
      
      Does it decide for us the education of our children, the investment of our means, the friendships and associations of life, the whole activity, interest and outlook of our being? Are we in it, spirit, soul and body, all we are, all we do, all we hope for--OF ONE HEART TO MAKE JESUS KING?
      
      We're going forth united
          With loyal heart and hand,
      To bear His royal banner
          Aboard o'er every land.
      
      From every tribe and nation
          We'll haste His Bride to bring.
      And Oh, with what glad welcome
          We'll make our Jesus King.
