Now. We are so in danger of postponing our expectation of His acceptance of the trust, and His undertaking to\r\naccomplish what we ask Him to do, instead of saying as we commit \"He worketh. \" \"He worketh\" even now; and praise Him that it is so.\r\nThe very expectancy enables the Holy Spirit to do the very thing we have rolled upon Him. It is out of our reach. We are not trying to\r\ndo it any more. \"He worketh!\"\r\nLet us take the comfort out of it and not put our hands on it  again. Oh, what a relief it brings! He is really working on the difficulty.\r\nBut someone may say, \"I see no results.\" Never mind. \"He worketh, \" if you have rolled it over and are looking to Jesus to do it\r\nFaith may be tested, but \"He worketh\"; the Word is sure! --V. H. F.\r\n\"I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth an things for me\" (Psalm 57:2).\r\nThe beautiful old translation says, \"He shall perform the cause\r\nwhich I have in hand.\" Does not that make it very real to us today? Just the very thing that \"I have in hand\"-my own particular bit of\r\nwork today, this cause that I cannot manage, this thing that I\r\nundertook in miscalculation of my own powers-this is what I may ask Him to do \"for me,\" and rest assured that He will perform it \"The\r\nwise and their works are in the hands of God.\"\r\n--Havergal.\r\nThe Lord will go through with His covenant engagements. Whatever He takes in hand He will accomplish; hence past mercies are guarantees\r\nfor the future and admirable reasons for continuing to cry unto\r\nHim. --C. H. Spurgeon.",1783499793045]
