LIVING IN CONSTANT COMMUNION WITH GOD.... I must believe that such a life in the land of Canaan is a possible life. Yes, many a one will say, Ah! what would I give to get out of the wilderness life! But I cannot believe that it is possible to live in this constant communion with God. You dont know my difficulties--my business cares and perplexities; I have all sorts of people to associate with; have gone out in the morning braced up by communion with God in prayer, but the pressure of business before night has driven out of my heart all that warmth of love that I had, and the world has gotten in and made the heart as cold as before. But we must remember again what it was that kept Israel out of Canaan. When Caleb and Joshua said, We are able to overcome the enemy, the ten spies, and the six hundred thousand answered, We cannot do it; they are too strong for us. Take care, dear reader, that we do not repeat their sin, and provoke God as these unbelievers did. He says, it is possible to bring us into the land of rest and peace; and I believe it because He has said so, and because He will do it if I trust Him. Your temper may be terrible; your pride may have bound you a hundred times; your temptations may compass you about like bees, but there is victory for you if you will but trust the promises of God.
