(Devotional)
The supreme characteristic of the saving call of God is an ardent determination to find its completion in the presence of Him who calls; viz, Christ Jesus. "...and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying" (Mark 2:4). The called ache in spirit to be clothed in His righteousness and the presence of His Spirit is gladness. Blessed are those whose joy is in the LORD for they are know by God, "I am the Good Shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me" (John 10:15).
