Daily Fellowship with God
By Andrew Murray
THE first and chief need of Christian life is fellowship with God. The divine life within us comes from God, and is entirely dependent upon Him. As I need every moment afresh to breathe the air, as the sun every moment afresh sends down his light, so it is only in direct living communication with God that my soul can be strong. The manna of one day was corrupt when the next day came. I must every day have fresh grace from heaven, and I obtain it only in direct waiting upon God Himself. Begin each day by tarrying before God, and letting Him touch you. Take time to meet God. To this end, let your first act in your devotions be a setting yourself still before God. In prayer or worship, everything depends on God’s taking the chief place.—Andrew Murray.
