MORNING
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.”
Galatians 5:17In every believer’s heart there is a constant struggle between the old nature and the new. The old nature is very active, and loses no opportunity of plying all the weapons of its deadly armoury against newborn grace; while on the other hand, the new nature is ever on the watch to resist and destroy its enemy. Grace within us will employ prayer, and faith, and hope, and love, to cast out the evil; it takes unto it the “whole armour of God,” and wrestles earnestly. These two opposing natures will never cease to struggle so long as we are in this world. The battle of “Christian” with “Apollyon” lasted three hours, but the battle of Christian with himself lasted all the way from the Wicket Gate to the river Jordan. The enemy is so securely entrenched within us that he can never be driven out while we are in this body: but although we are closely beset, and often in sore conflict, we have an Almighty helper, even Jesus, the Captain of our salvation, who is ever with us, and who assures us that we shall eventually come off more than conquerors through Him. With such assistance the new-born nature is more than a match for its foes. Are you fighting with the adversary today? Are Satan, the world, and the flesh, all against you? Be not discouraged nor dismayed. Fight on! For God Himself is with you; Jehovah Nissi is your banner, and Jehovah Rophi is the healer of your wounds. Fear not, you shall overcome, for who can defeat Omnipotence? Fight on, “looking unto Jesus;” and though long and stern be the conflict, sweet will be the victory, and glorious the promised reward. “From strength to strength go on; Wrestle, and fight, and pray, Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day.”
EVENING
“Good Master.”
Matthew 19:16If the young man in the gospel used this title in speaking to our Lord, how much more fitly may I thus address him! He is indeed my Master in both senses, a ruling Master and a teaching Master. I delight to run upon his errands, and to sit at his feet. I am both his servant and his disciple, and count it my highest honour to own the double character. If he should ask me why I call him “good,” I should have a ready answer. It is true that “there is none good but one, that is, God,” but then he is God, and all the goodness of Deity shines forth in him. In my experience, I have found him good, so good, indeed, that all the good I have has come to me through him. He was good to me when I was dead in sin, for he raised me by his Spirit’s power; he has been good to me in all my needs, trials, struggles, and sorrows. Never could there be a better Master, for his service is freedom, his rule is love: I wish I were one thousandth part as good a servant. When he teaches me as my Rabbi, he is unspeakably good, his doctrine is divine, his manner is condescending, his spirit is gentleness itself. No error mingles with his instruction–pure is the golden truth which he brings forth, and all his teachings lead to goodness, sanctifying as well as edifying the disciple. Angels find him a good Master and delight to pay their homage at his footstool. The ancient saints proved him to be a good Master, and each of them rejoiced to sing, “I am thy servant, O Lord!” My own humble testimony must certainly be to the same effect. I will bear this witness before my friends and neighbours, for possibly they may be led by my testimony to seek my Lord Jesus as their Master. O that they would do so! They would never repent so wise a deed. If they would but take his easy yoke, they would find themselves in so royal a service that they would enlist in it forever.
Ann Arbor Named One of 20 Best Vacation Spots in America
It doesn’t have the romantic seashore vistas of the Oregon Coast, or the majestic peaks of Glacier National Park, but there Ann Arbor is — on the same list with these storied vacation spots.
The Ann Arbor Art Fair is the best reason to visit Ann Arbor in the summer, Frommer’s said.
Ann Arbor, recently named the 5th happiest city in America, as well as the best place for singles and one of the best towns in America for recent college grads, has now made a list of 20 best vacation spots in the country. Frommer’s compiled the list and suggested that any of the destinations would make a good summer road trip.
Ann Arbor has some expected and perhaps unexpected company on the list. There’s the aforementioned lovely Oregon coastline as well as Big Sur in California and northern Vermont. Then there’s northeastern Ohio. Why is that there, you ask? For plenty of reasons, Frommer’s says.
There’s Ohio’s extensive park system, including many parks fronting Lake Erie, not to mention Cedar Point.
And how about Ann Arbor? What about our fair city qualifies it to rank with the likes of Boulder, Colo., and Big Sur, Calif.? The Kerrytown district for one thing. Frommer’s said it’s full of eclectic shops peddling high-quality goods and used bookstores.
The article also gives a nod to the farmers market. But it says perhaps the most compelling reason to visit Ann Arbor is the annual four-day July extravaganza known as the Ann Arbor Art Fair.
