THE PROMISE DRIVEN LIFE
generation? Are you hearing the voice of the LORD urging you, “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6: 17-18). It was Malcolm Muggeridge who said, “Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream”. Would you stand out and be counted for God? Would you become God’s own divine intervention in a world that is dark and dreary? Hurry! The Lord Jesus comes soon, and when He arrives may He find you worthy of the investment of His life and love on you. We conclude with the following words of Charles Spurgeon: “Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.” Redemption is a solid basis for confidence. David had not known Calvary as we have done, but temporal redemption cheered him; and shall not eternal redemption yet more sweetly console us? Past deliverances are strong pleas for present assistance. What the Lord has done he will do again, for he changes not. He is faithful to his promises, and gracious to his saints; he will not turn away from his people. “Though thou slay me I will trust, Praise thee even from the dust, Prove, and tell it as I prove, Thine unutterable love. Thou mayst chasten and correct, But thou never canst neglect; Since the ransom price is paid, On thy love my hope is stay’d.” 34
