Right Performance of Duty.

Back to Divine Breathings!

"You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts!" 2 Corinthians 3:3

It was said of Nepolitan, that by his continual Scripture reading, and daily meditation, he made his heart the very library of Christ. This is the praise of a Christian, when he so hears the Word preached—that the Word will abide in him; when he shall soread the Word—as to make himself a living epistle, so that the world may in his life read again—what he has read before in the Word; when he shall so bless God—as to make himself his praise; when he shall so pray—as that every petition shall, as so many living veins, run through his practice; when his duties shall be the fire—and his life the incense; this is the only sweet acceptable sacrifice.

Until worship is distilled into practice—it is but an empty cloud! Until duties are vitals in our walkings—they are but dead performances. Lord, let my duties receive life from your Spirit, and let my walkings receive life from those duties.
