THE KEY THAT OPENS DOORS.
God does not often open the way to a half-hearted man. “How are you going to do it?” asked a doubter of one who was seeking to enlist the other’s co-operation in a course that God had clearly pointed out, yet that was beset with seemingly impassable barriers. “I don’t know,” was the answer, “and what’s more, I am sure that we shall not be permitted to know until we show God that we are ready to spend ourselves to the uttermost in bringing this thing to pass. Then He will tell us how to do it.” And God did,—not to the half-hearted one, but to the one who was in life-and-death earnestness. It is never necessary to know beforehand how we are going to do something to which God calls us. He knows; that is enough. And He will tell us, if we have enough confidence in Him to show ourselves worthy to be told.—S. S. Times.
