Thy Will Be Done
by Andrew Murray
Thy Will Be Done by Andrew Murray PREFACE In the will of God Creation
has its origin, its existence, its happiness, its power, its glory. In
the will of God Redemption, too, has its origin, its maintenance, its
blessedness, its power, its glory. To the will of God even so the life
of grace in the heart owes its origin, its maintenance, its
blessedness, its power, and its glory. In knowing and loving, in doing
and bearing, in fulfilling all that will, the spiritual life finds its
growth, its rest, its joy, its strength, its fruitfulness, its
everlasting blessedness. The one thing needful for a Christian is that
he live in the will of God. Whether it be God’s will in His Providence
in time, or His Purpose in eternity, God’s will in His Precepts or His
Promises, he that lives in the will of God will there find God Himself
and all His salvation. May God teach us that as His will is the one
cause and the power of all that He does in the showing forth of His
glory, and of all that His Son did and does for our redemption, so the
one thing His child needs is to prove that his whole life is the
manifestation of the power and glory of God’s blessed will. With the
prayer that God, by His Holy Spirit, may reveal this to each reader of
this little book Yours in Christ Jesus, ANDREW MURRAY
