THE LARGESS OF GOD
Good Morning!!!
THE LARGESS OF GOD
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
October 3
Read Psalm 18
In verse 19 the Psalmist asserts,
“he brought me forth also into a large place . . .”
Is it not a wonderful thought
that God brings us forth into a large place?
Then he adds that God delivered me,
because he delighted in me.
This verse really means that being delivered
from the dungeon of fear,
the Psalmist was beginning to experience the delight
that peace of mind naturally brings.
And now comes a very significant statement,
"according to the cleanness of my hands
hath he recompensed me."
This refers to right conduct or right living.
To have clean hands means trying to live the Christ life.
Our prayers have but little power
if we are not honestly trying
to live up to the best that we know.
We always do what we believe.
“With the merciful
thou wilt show thyself merciful;
with an upright man
thou wilt show thyself upright;
with the pure
thou wilt show thyself pure;
and with the forward
thou wilt show thyself forward”
Psalm 18:25-26
This is a concise and powerful statement of the law
that we literally reap what we sow
God, in His infinite wisdom,
has made the Laws of the universe
and left them to work themselves out.
He is not constantly interfering
in every individual transaction.
If this were the case,
there would be no law
and God would not be Principle.
