Gems for the Week
December 22 - 24
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8)
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." (Ephesians 6:10)
Now you are to use this power that has been acting towards you; you are to "be strong" in it, that you may be able to resist Satan; and that, too, not now as an open adversary - not coming forth as a roaring lion - but in the most subtle way possible he is going to try and divert you from the path you are in. (Food for the Desert)

"That ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God."
(Colossians 4:12)
His way is perfect, and it only needs that, with the knowledge of His love, we should repose in Him with unshaken confidence in all circumstances. (Edward Dennett)
N.J. Hiebert # 3196
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
(John 4:24)
True worship . . . is the honour and adoration which are rendered to God by reason of what He is in Himself and what He is for those who render it. (J.N. Darby)
N.J. Hiebert # 3197
