WHAT WOULD YE THAT I SHOULD DO FOR YOU ?

 
 
NOVEMBER  3
 
Mark 10:36
And he said unto them,
What would ye that I should do for you?
 
 
 
So spake Jesus to the sons of Zebedee, and so He speaks to us.
 
Beloved, have you your petitions ready this morning?
 
Jesus is at the pardon office; 
   He is on His throne of grace; 
       He is in a loving tempter; 
           He is ready to bless.
 
He says, “Ask, what I shall give thee?“
 
Oh Jesus!
 
Give me sanctifying grace.
 
Subdue my corruptions.
 
Purify my heart.
 
Make me a vessel of honor, meet for Thy use.
 
Why should sin be allowed to work so powerfully ?
 
Why should Satan be permitted to have so much power over me ?
 
Why should the world attract and lead me astray ?
 
Lord, I would that Thou shouldest make me holy, and make me useful; fill me with Thy Holy Spirit; write out Thy precepts in my life.
 
Oh Savior !
 
I would that Thou shouldest make me like Thyself; as meek, as humble, as diligent, as disinterested, as useful to God and man.
 
May I be holy, harmless, undefiled, and separated from sinners.
 
Oh, make me shine, to honour and glorify Thy free and sovereign grace, and do so at once !
 
 
 Holy Ghost, no more delay;
Come, and in Thy temple stay;
Now Thine inward witness bear,
Strong, and permanent and clear;
Source of life, Thyself impart,
Rise eternal in my heart!

James Smith
