More About Jesus!

Good morning to each of you on this lovely Wednesday morning!  I trust you are looking forward to the mid-week service at your church tonight.  I am very thankful for this time when we can gather together with the family of God and be encouraged by the devotional from our pastor, lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving to God, pray together, and testify to victories won as we have walked in the beautiful light of God!  Don't allow other things to rob you of this special service -- God's Word has commanded us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together and "so much the more, as we see the day approaching" for Christ's return!
This wonderful old song is my prayer and desire this morning, and I trust the words will be a challenge and encouragement to your heart today.

     "More about Jesus would I know, more of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fullness see, more of His love who died for me.
      More about Jesus let me learn, more of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my Teacher be, showing the things of Christ to me.

      More about Jesus; in His Word, holding communion with my Lord,
Hearing His voice in every line, making each faithful saying mine.
      More about Jesus on His throne, riches in glory all His own;
More of His Kingdom's sure increase; more of His coming, Prince of Peace.

      More, more about Jesus; More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see, more of His love who died for me."

The beautiful phrase in the second verse -- "Spirit of God, my Teacher be"  is very often the cry of my heart.  In the Apostle Paul's second epistle to Timothy, he warns us that "in the last days, perilous times shall come -- evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse -- for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
So let us be careful about listening or heeding to the many voices calling today.  Rather, let us turn our eyes upon Jesus, walk with Him, and often pray from the depths of our soul --  "Spirit of God, my Teacher be"!
