By His Son

God hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son.
Hebrews i.2
Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.
I Sam.iii.9

The best will is our Father's will;
And we may rest there calm and still;
Oh, make it hour by hour thy own,
And wish for naught but that alone
Which pleases God.
Paul Gerhardt.
The simplicity of the Son. The one thing needful. The call to forsake all for that pearl of great price. Life is a paring down, a boiling down process, of casting aside weights that encumber our journey toward the purity found in Holiness.
Be still and know. Many things are picked up and twisted round and round in the whirlwind. If through the tumult, we can hold to the One, soon all about in the aftermath is revealed the things we held dear, damaged beyond repair.
It is a difficult lesson, to lose all in order to gain that one thing really needful.
But, worth the price of the whirlwind.
