PRESENCE OF GOD.

LOVE GOD. Be devoted to Him, and to Him supremely. Have no affection apart from Him. Delight to do His will. In all ways strive to grow into closer intimacy with God and into accord with His mind and Spirit. There are blessed results flowing from a life thus spent in the practise of the presence of God. Such practise is the secret of peace. It is the secret of a life of happiness and joy. It is the secret of living a life of love and highest usefulness in the world. Guidance amid life's perplexities, wisdom for life's decisions, cheer for life's sorrows, and help over life's hard places come with it. Knowledge of God and resultant transformation into His likeness come with it. It is worth our while, both in view of the present and future blessedness it brings, to “practise the presence of God.”—Dr. G. B. F. Hallock.
