"Go Ye Therefore."

GOD is always in advance of his people. He prepares the way for them. When the Spirit of God moves to enterprise, his providence has already marked its path and made ready the requisite means and appliances. This is simply conceding to the Head of the church the wisdom which is indispensable to the conduct of great undertakings in human and divine life. Any far-reaching movement projected by sagacious men presupposes foresight of the conditions needed for success and provision made for each stage in the progress of the enterprise. If the competency of the projectors and the sufficiency of their means be not in question, the agents employed by them have only to obey their instructions and carry forward their work. So, when the Spirit of God stirs the heart of the church and bids it go, it is sheer presumption to hesitate and question the wisdom of the movement or the sufficiency of the resources. "All power is given unto me in Heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore," is the warrant for the undertaking and the pledge of the supply.—Baptist Weekly.
