FOREWORD
The title of this book sufficiently interprets its purpose. I hope it may
lead to such practical meditation upon the Word of God as will supply
vision to common tasks, and daily nourishment to the conscience and

New York. JANUARY The First THE UNKNOWN JOURNEY " He went out not knowing whither he went. "
HEBREWS xi. 6 10.
Abram began his journey without any knowledge of his ultimate destination.
He obeyed a noble impulse without any discernment of its consequences. He
took "one step," and he did not "ask to see the distant scene." And that
is faith, to do God's will here and now, quietly leaving the results to

into a panic, neither fetching fears from his yesterdays nor from his
to morrows. Concerning his yesterdays faith says, "Thou hast beset me
behind." Concerning his to morrows faith says, "Thou hast beset me
before." Concerning his to day faith says, "Thou hast laid Thine hand
upon me." That is enough, just to feel the pressure of the guiding hand.
JANUARY The Second THE LARGER OUTLOOK GENESIS xv. 5 18.
"And He brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven!" The
tent was changed for the sky! Abraham sat moodily in his tent: God brought
him forth beneath the stars. And that is always the line of the Divine
leading. He brings us forth out of our small imprisonments and He sets our
feet in a large place... Continue reading book >>
