In the Spirit's Power - William W. Prescott

when one says, Lord, show me the way (Ps.
119:33), He shows him the way, and causes him to
walk in it. That is the way of His working.
The blessed Bible teaches us the same truth in a
hundred different ways. Suppose we turn to a page
of what we may call God’s picture book. To help
children to understand, we give them pictures to
illustrate what we are teaching. We are but
children, and God often tells us a truth by putting a
picture before us. Here is one:--
“And great multitudes came unto Him, having
with them those that were lame, blind, dumb,
maimed, and many others, and cast them down at
Jesus’ feet; and He healed them.” Could any one be
much worse off? They were in a terrible plight, but
“He healed them.” “Insomuch that the multitude
wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the
maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the
blind to see; and they glorified the God of Israel.”
(Matt. 15:30, 31) We are lame; we cannot walk as
Christ walked. Christ had a noble walk. We cannot
walk that kind of a walk. What does He do for us?
