Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... mighty power of God in the world, is the return to our true place, the place that belongs to us, both in creation and redemption, the place of absolute and unceasing dependence upon God. Let us strive to see what the elements are that make up this most blessed and needful waiting upon God: it may help us to discover the reasons why this grace is so little cultivated, and to feel how infinitely desirable it is that the Church, that we ourselves, should at any price learn its blessed secret. The deep need for this waiting on God lies equally in the nature of man and the nature of God. God, as Creator, formed man, to be a vessel in which He could show forth His power and goodness. Man was not to have in himself a fountain of life, or strength, or happiness: the ever-living and only living One was each moment to be the Communicator to him of all that he needed. Man's glory and blessedness was not to be independent, or dependent upon himself, but dependent on a God of such infinite riches and love. Man was to have the joy of receiving every moment out of the fulness of God. This was his blessedness as an unfalien creature. When he fell from God, he waa still more absolutely dependent on Him, There was not the slightest hope of his recovery out of his state of death, but in God, His power and mercy.

Even in the regenerate man there is no power of goodness in himself: he has and can have nothing that he does not each moment receive; and waiting on God is just as indispensable, and must be just as continuous and unbroken, as the breathing that maintains his natural life. It is, then, because Christians do not...

From the Back Cover
How often the 'busyness' of life can creep up and overwhelm us. Rather than depending upon our own strength, as Christians it is our privileged birthright to enter into a daily time of reverent meditation and silence, waiting only upon God for: His answers to our problems, His direction in our lives, and, most importantly, His awesome presence refreshing our spirits and teaching us more about Himself.Andrew Murray shares thirty-one heartfelt meditations, one for each day of the month, to help renew our vision and quicken our desire to turn to the Lord for His quite, peaceful strength. Murray's own prayer was that the Lord would use these meditations "to draw all to Himself, to learn in practice and experience the blessed art of waiting only upon God."
About the Author
South African pastor and author Andrew Murray (1828 1917)
was an amazingly prolific writer. Murray began writing on the
Christian life for his congregation as an extension of his local
pastoral work, but he became internationally known for his
books, such as With Christ in the School of Prayer and Abide
in Christ, that searched men's hearts and brought them into a
deeper relationship with Christ. With intense purpose and zeal
for the message of the gospel, Murray wrote numerous books
even after his "retirement" at age seventy-eight.
