The Watered Lilies
The Watered Lilies The MASTER stood in His garden, Among the lilies fair, Which His own right hand had planted, And trained with tend’rest care. He looked at their snowy blossoms, And marked with observant eye That the flowers were sadly drooping, For their leaves were parched and dry. “My lilies need to be watered,” The Heavenly Master said; “Wherein shall I draw it for them, And raise each drooping head?” Close to his feet on the pathway, Empty, and frail, and small, An earthen vessel was lying, Which seemed no use at all; But the Master saw, and raised …
Tabernacle Made Without Hand
The Law was a mere foreshadow of better things which were to come. Jesus is called the high-priest of them (Levitical High Priests), to distinguish him from the high-priests under the law, who could not bring in these good things, or make the worshippers coming to the Temple perfect.

YOU NEVER GET more than one day’s journey from Christ if you come to Him every morning. Shut the world out. Get closeted with God and you will learn His secrets.
YOU NEVER GET more than one day’s journey from Christ if you come to Him every morning. Shut the world out. Get closeted with God and you will learn His secrets. I like to get up at five o’clock in the morning and turn the key and be alone, and let God talk with me. Some people say, “l cannot concentrate my thoughts. My mind just goes all over the world.” Well, that is true. There is no bigger tramp on the earth than human mind. Some of you are off in Africa now; some of you may be going …
