The true Christian is not living a life separated from the world, but a Izfe sep- arated unto God. I will bless the Lord at all timesf' Youill never find a miserable Christian in the center of God's will A good name is better than precious ointment? ' If you should meet a man without a smile, give him one. If you' cannot see through your troubles, look -over them. God only calls busy beople. Life is sure to bring us sunshine- Smiles, surprises, some success, Savior, We will give you glory When life is treating us the bestf' Life is sure tobring us shadows- Storms and struggles, sorrows too, Yet, in these, your loving purpose Is to strengthen us in you. Measure, Lord, our joys and teardrops- Just enough of each to make Radiant lives of helping others, , Doing all for Jesus' Sake. . - In lifeis varied situations ' Weill' say thanks, for all you send, Knowing someday in your prescence Sweet delights shall never end! 1,-.l-l-q.gs s p AN EDITOR'S EVENTIDE I MEDITATIONS Father, I am weary tonight. Weary of working with manuscripts. All day I have been - changing sentence construction correcting grammatical errors adding and subtracting punctuation boiling down making effective endings I have tried to make sure that the characters are true to life there is a central theme . wrong is adequately punished no doctrinal error creeps in the stories suit the age which they are intended It is with a sense of relief that I lay my 12 pen aside and take up Thy Word tonight. What matter if the style of this precious Book be considered archaic by some? I rejoice that the sentence construction needs no changing . the greatest of care has been exercised to keep out all grammatical errors the right amount of punctuation is there there are no superfluous words to be detected the endings are always effective In Thy Book thou dost show Thyself a master in I revealing characters as true to life centering around one grand theme suiting every age level showing the end of wrong doing setting forth truth without mixture I No editorls pen is needed. I thankfully lay it down as I take up Thy Word tonight. -selected ,i, 0 LORD .... HOW LONG- WILT THOU NQT HEAR? The prophet Habakkuk asked this question when he looked at the violence and sin in Israel. It seemed to him, as he viewed the situation, that God was doing nothing about the lamentable state of affairs. God's answer posed a yet more perplex- ing problem to Habakkuk. How could God use a nation to punish Israel that was even more wicked than they? V Habakkuk received a vision of God's sovereign control of nations and His ul- timate judgment upon sin. He no longer need to .ask where God was, but in his human weakness, seemed a bit fearful that God was doing too much. g - n We need that vision today, ,because sin is rampant. Judgment is perverted and the world seems to have lost 'all respect for sacred things. Some ask, Where is God? Why is he not answering the prayers ascending from hearts burdened with this sad condition? The encouraging challenge from Habakkuk is that God sees, is in con- trol, and is at work. by -Glenn Sensenig 4 . 4- .4 -3. 1 ,-ff -.U -af. L . s fi Has' 4. I x K
