Continual Burnt Offering: Daily Meditations, April 10 (29:18)
“Where there is no vision the people perish” —Prov 29:18.
WE need the revelation of coming glory in order to sustain us in our present conflict with sin and to lift us above discouragement as we often see the apparent thwarting of the will of God. But it is only apparent. Nothing can hinder the eventual carrying out of the divine program. The kingdoms of this world shall yet become the kingdom of our God and His Christ. At the present time we are called upon to suffer for righteousness’ sake, to endure trial and persecution, to share in our Saviour’s rejection. But as surely as there is a God in Heaven, so surely shall His kingdom come at last and the Crucified shall become King over all the earth. In that day “a King shall reign in righteousness” (Isa. 32:1). “Righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins” (Isa. 11:5). Then the law and the prophets shall all be fulfilled and the days of Heaven will be known on earth.
