HH Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div "Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught." (Luke 5:4). How deep He does not say.

WAITING QUIETLY
HH Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div "And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise" (Hebrews 6:15). Abraham was long tried, but he was richly rewarded.

BEING ALONE WITH GOD
HH Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div "And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day." (Genesis 32:24). Left alone!

To be left alone without … Continue reading BEING ALONE WITH GOD
SUFFERING UNTO PERFECTION
HH Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands." (Psalm 138:8).

GO DEEPER
HH Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div "Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up because they had no deepness of earth:" (Matthew 13:5). Shallow!

Marching and quick-marching are much easier … Continue reading HOW TO WAIT ON THE LORD
DON’T BE OFFENDED
HH Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div " And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me." (Luke 7:23). It is sometimes very difficult not to be offended in Jesus Christ.

UNANSWERED APPLICATION
HH Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div "Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect which cries day and night unto him, though he bears long with them?

COUNTING THE COST
HH Sir Godfrey Greg D.Div "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ," (Philippians 3:8). This is the happy season of ripening … Continue reading COUNTING THE COST
