971. “Where Art Thou?”

Gen_3:9

This question has been often applied to the unconverted, hiding behind the trees of iniquity and self-confidence, but let us apply it to the believer in Christ. Many answers may be given to the question: Where Art Thou Positionally? “In Christ” (Eph_1:1).

Where Art Thou Practically?

1. As to walk, we should be in the company of the Lord, like Enoch—Gen_5:22.

2. As to worship, we should be in the holy place of separation, like Moses—Exo_33:11.

3. As to work, we should be doing it faithfully, like Nehemiah, who worked on amid taunt and opposition—Neh_6:3.

4. As to witnessing, we should be like Paul, and not shun to declare the whole counsel of God—Act_20:27.

5. As to prayer, we should be lifting up holy hands—1Ti_2:8, like Daniel, who was ever found at the throne of grace—Dan_6:10, Dan_6:11.

6. As to consecration, we should be wholehearted, like Levi, who feared not to fear God, and therefore feared no one else—Mal_2:3-6.

7. As to power, we should be in the current of the Spirit’s might, like Stephen; then we shall have the shining face, the flashing testimony, and the fearless courage of inwrought conviction—Act_6:15.
