Obedience That Pleases Christ | James R. Miller, 1905 | Obedience | |

Odors from Golden Vials | Charles E. Orr, 1912 | Prayer | |

One Thing I Do | James R. Miller, 1904 | Work | |

Over-Waiting for God | James R. Miller, 1896 | Warning | |
There are times when closet prayer is not the duty of the hour.... We may think we are honoring God by waiting... but really we are dishonoring Him by lack of present faith and ready obedience. Blessing... cannot be given to us until we go forth to get it. |
