Power.

By N. Y. Observer

BLESSED word—power. "All power is given unto me, in Heaven and in earth." Pray on, Christian, never doubting. Say not, It cannot be; the hardened husband or brother or son cannot be turned, cannot be made thoughtful, and tender, and humble, and be converted. It may be; with God all things are possible. More willing than parents is God to give. His love is higher than that of the most tender parents, as the heavens are above the earth. He is able to save unto the uttermost; he is not willing that any should perish. Power belongeth unto God. They shall be willing in the day of thy power. Jesus is a great king. His power ruleth over all. Like Jacob, take no denial. In answer to wrestling intercession, Esau shall relent, and be melted into love. Mountains shall be plucked up. The Red Sea shall be opened. The victory is secure. Satan fell as lightning. As Jesus expired he said, "It is finished." His last words as he ascended were, "All power is given unto me in Heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations." Our side is always the stronger while we serve Christ and seek his glory. Be strong; yea, be strong in the Lord. Pray and watch and work, in the faith of promised power.—N. Y. Observer.
