In the first phases of Christian life disheartenments come, people who used to be lights flicker out, and those who used to stand with us pass away. We have to get so used to it that we never know we are standing alone. \u201cAll men forsook me:\u2026notwithstanding the Lord stood with me\u201d (2 Tim. 4:16-17). We must build our faith, not on the fading light, but on the light that never fails. When \u201cbig\u201d men go we are sad, until we see that they are meant to go; the one thing that remains is looking in the face of God for ourselves.<br>Allow nothing to keep you from looking God sternly in the face about yourself and about your doctrine, and every time you preach see that you look God in the face about things first, then the glory will remain all through. A Christian worker is one who perpetually looks in the face of God and then goes forth to talk to people. The characteristic of the ministry of Christ is that of unconscious glory that abides. \u201cMoses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.\u201d<br>We are never called on to parade our doubts or to express the hidden ecstasies of our life with God. The secret of the worker\u2019s life is that he keeps in tune with God all the time.<br>By Oswald Chambers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all with open face beholding\u2026the glory of the Lord. \u2014 2 Corinthians 3:18 A servant of God must stand so much alone that he never knows he is alone.
