Obedience.—That is what God asks of His children in all ages, worlds, conditions. Equally of the shining messengers before His throne and of the lowest sinner He demands it. Of course, it can not be wrought by His creatures in their own strength. God asks of man what he can not do in his own power. Obedience to God can only be wrought by faith; but there can be no true faith without the spirit of obedience, the longing to obey. "If any man willeth to do His will, he shall know."
