    In thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore–Psa. 16: 11.
    In the Lord’s presence, no matter where we are, is fullness of joy. Let us cultivate the Lord’s acquaintance more, drawing near to Him in prayer, in the study of His precious Word, in meditation upon all His goodness, His providential care, the marked manifestations of His grace in our own individual experiences, and His precious promises which are all yea and amen in Christ Jesus. Thus “draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you” (Jas. 4: 8); He will manifest Himself to you and take up His abode with you. It is indeed the will of God that all His children should be happy in Him, that they should be always rejoicing; and if anyone lack this blessing, he is living below his privileges—Z ’96, 54 (R 1948).
    By the presence of God, we may understand is meant the condition of God’s favor in our present sacrificing state, and in our future glorified position. Fullness of joy, that is joy to one’s fullest capacity, is the privilege of either condition; and the Christ class, who enjoy His fullest favor, is blessed with eternal pleasures—P ’36, 78.Parallel passages: Acts 2: 28; Prov. 4: 18; 1 John 3: 2; Matt. 5: 8; Psa. 17: 15; 36: 8; Heb. 12: 2; Luke 14: 14; John 6: 39, 40, 44, 54; 14: 2, 3, 19; Acts 2: 26-28; 26: 6, 7; 1 Cor. 15: 40-57; 2 Cor. 5: 1-5; Phil. 3: 10, 11, 21; Rev. 20: 4, 6.Hymns: 179, 32, 109, 273, 201, 176, 58.
    Poems of Dawn, 184: His Will, Not Mine, Be Done.
    Tower Reading: Z ’96, 53 (R 1949).Questions: What has this text meant to me this week? How did I use it in my daily life? What were the results?
    HIS WILL, NOT MINE, BE DONE
    O THOU of little faith! why dost thou fear?
    Didst thou forget that Jesus is so near?
    And hast thou thought that thou must walk alone?
    Behold now at thy side the loved One!Aye, more than this, thou’rt held within His hand,
    And ’twas Himself that hath thy trial planned!
    There was a need be seen by Eye Divine,
    Although, perchance, not visible to thine.And, wherefore wouldst thou see? Thou canst not tell
    If what thy heart contends for would be well;
    Perhaps thy hope’s fruition would be vain,
    Or prove a life-long discipline of pain!Hast thou not seen, in retrospective life,
    That will of God which caused thee bitterest strife
    Hath turned to sweetness—while the thing He gave
    To suit thy will grew darker than the grave?There’s rest supreme for souls that choose His will;
    A blest security from every ill.
    The things God chooses for us never fail!
    They have their anchorage within the veil.

    Light [Truth] is sown for the righteous, and gladness [the joys of the Truth] for the upright in heart–Psa. 97: 11.The true children of God love the Truth because they have an affinity for it. … When they have found the Truth they recognize its value; they prize it, and meditate upon it. … They say, It is just like God: it is the manifestation of His glorious goodness, the reflection of His loving, benevolent, wise and just character. And therefore they love the Truth and the God who gave it; they treasure it up in their hearts and con it over again and again; and as they look into it, and admire all its symmetry and beauty, they strive more and more to conform their own characters to the same lines of beauty and seek to commend it by word and conduct to others, that they also may be blessed by it—Z ’96, 55 (R 1949).

    As the natural light makes the way clear to the natural eye, so Truth makes plain the way to our eyes of understanding. It is God’s provision to open the eyes of understanding of those only whose hearts are in sympathy with righteous principles. To others the Truth would be an injury. The Truth is a blessing to the righteous, and they are a blessing through it, hence its blessings fill their hearts with joy—P ’30, 78.

    Parallel passages: Dan. 2: 28; Amos 3: 7; Rom. 16: 25, 26; John 15: 15; Psa. 29: 9, 11; Prov. 3: 32; Matt.11: 25; 24: 45-47; Luke 8: 10; 12: 42-44; Rev. 19: 9, 10; 22: 8, 9, 16.

    Hymns: 22, 296, 260, 238, 46, 97, 300.
    Poems of Dawn, 61: Trust Him More.
    Tower Reading: Z ’09, 231 (R 4444).

    Questions: What conditions did I fulfill to receive the Truth? What has helped or hindered therein?

    TRUST HIM MORE
    SINCE the Father’s arm sustains thee,
    Peaceful be;
    When a chastening hand restrains thee,
    It is He.
    Know His love in full completeness
    Fills the measure of thy weakness;
    If He wounds thy spirit sore,
    Trust Him more.Without measure, uncomplaining,
    In His hand
    Lay whatever things thou canst not
    Understand.
    Though the world thy folly spurneth,
    From thy faith in pity turneth,
    Peace thine inmost soul shall fill,
    Lying still.Like an infant, if thou thinkest
    Thou canst stand,
    Child-like, proudly pushing back
    The proffered hand,
    Courage soon is changed to fear,
    Strength doth feebleness appear;
    In His love if thou abide,
    He will guide.Therefore, whatso’er betideth,
    Night or day,
    Know His love for thee provideth
    Good alway.
    Crown of sorrow gladly take,
    Grateful wear it for His sake,
    Sweetly bending to His will,
    Lying still.

    To His own the Savior giveth
    Daily strength;
    To each troubled soul that striveth,
    Peace at length.
    Weakest lambs have largest share
    Of this tender Shepherd’s care.
    Ask Him not, then, When? or How?
    Only bow!
