GOD’S WORD FOR APRIL 29 ~ ~ 2 Corinthians 4:6 ~ ~ “For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

We continue today in chapter 7 of “Abide in Christ”, the classic book by Andrew Murray.  The chapter is entitled, “As Your Wisdom.”

Therefore, believer, abide in Jesus as your wisdom, and expect from Him most confidently whatever wisdom you may need for a life to the glory of the Father.    It is He alone who can guide you.  Do not think about it as a mystery or difficulty you must solve.  Whatever questions come up as to the possibility of abiding perfectly and uninterruptedly in Him, and of really obtaining all the blessing that comes from it, always remember:

He knows, all is perfectly clear to Him, and He is my wisdom.  Just as much as you need to know and are capable of apprehending will be communicated, if you only trust Him.  Never think of the riches of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Jesus as treasures without a key, or of your way as a path without a light.  Jesus, your wisdom, is guiding you in the right way, even when you do not see it.

In all your dealings with the blessed Word, remember the same truth:  abide in Jesus, your wisdom.  Study much to know the written Word, but study more to know the living Word, (Jesus) in whom you are of God.  Jesus, the wisdom of God, is only known by a life of implicit confidence and obedience.  The words He speaks are spirit and life to those who live in Him.  Therefore, each time you read or hear or meditate on the Word be careful to take up your true position.  Realize first your oneness with Him who is the wisdom of God.  Know yourself to be under His direct an special training;  go to the Word abiding in Him, the very fountain of divine light.  In His light you will see light.
