It’s people whpwill stay as good as they are.tfiust *a while longer. You have your best moods, don’t you? Or if you don’t, some people around you surely have some good moments. Suppose those moods

lasted longer? Suppose those moments became hours or days ? The difference between one really good person and another who really isn’t, may not always be that one is good, the other bad. They

Dr. Foreman

both may be good, only one of the two is able to stick with it, he has staying power, he doesn't fade; while the other one folds up in a hurry. Strength Against When you read the 6th chapter of Ephesians you get the impression that life is a fight, even for the Christian. Yes, that is true, we must say especially for the Christian. The non-Christian doesn’t try to swim against the tide, he goes with the crowd. If a man sets out to be a Christian he soon enough . discovers that it is no bed of roses. He discovers where strength is • needed: for one thing, against the pull of temptation. Strength of body may help, but one’s very physical strength may be a source of ( temptation. Strength of mind may I help; but a strong mind again may ' itself be a temptation to doubt and pride. It is strength inside, strength of spirit, that counts most in the fight against temptation. Many an alcoholic, or others who find liquor a real temptation even if not rated “alcoholics,” knows how this is! Just to say NO—how hard it is! Other people can help, but the fight is really on the inside of the one who is tempted. The battle-field may be out of sight, but the battle is terribly real. Strength For— Just as a Christian needs inner strength to hold out longer against temptation of all kinds, so he needs strength within so as to keep his good intentions going. All of us have generous impulses. We aim to do something for some one. We have a picture of ourselves helping some one out of trouble . . . and that’s all it ever is, a picture. We hang the walls of our mind with these pictures of ourselves, all noble . . . but pure imagination. They are pictures of what we intended doing, what we maybe started to do but never finished. Or perhaps we really do get going on these fine projects, but get too tired too soon. We are like the grain in Jesus’ parable that fell on rocky soil. It came up all right, but a few days* sun and it was gone. The good start had no follow-up. There was life in the plant but it had no staying power. What we need is inner strength, the “will that says, Hold on!” Haw Ta Find Strength One thing should be kept In mind at all times: inner, spiritual power is not like physical or mental power. Some people are bora with better physiques than others. Bome are born with high IQ’s and the low-IQ people Just never will catch up. Not everybody, in short, can be an athlete, not every one can be a “brain.”’ But every one can have the inner strength about which we have been talking. If every one does not have it equally, and some not at all, it is not because any are barred off by God’s decree. It is because some do not fulfill the conditions. ’ The very first condition, and the continuing one, can be put in a question: Do you want it? Here as in other matters, God Is more willing to give than we are to receive. We do not have to make ourselves ready or fit before God’s spirit comes into our hearts. We do have to do one thing, quite seriously. We must put ourselves at the Spirit’s disposal, The Spirit of God will not come to the help of any one who uses, or tries to use, the Spirit for his own private ends. Only the Spirit of God within us is able to give us that inner strength which we so continually need. But the Holy Spirit is not to be bought, wheedled, hatneesed or controlled. Only those who welcome the Spirit and yield to Him may have Him.
