A young man, recently converted, asked a fellow Christian what he thought of a concert and dance which were to be held the following Friday night.
"Why do you ask?" said his friend.
"My uncle who bought me a ticket wishes me to go, but I have a feeling that I should not be there. At the same time, I know my uncle will be angry if I don't."
"I am glad you have no desire to go and that you feel as a Christian you should not," was the reply.
"Perhaps if I go to the concert, Uncle will not press me to go to the dance; but, oh, I do wish I could get out of them both."
They knelt and prayed together about it repeatedly, always asking that some way might be opened so that he need not attend the concert or the ball.
Imagine their joy on Friday morning when it was announced that both the concert and dance were postponed indefinitely!
Together they praised God for such a direct answer to prayer. Happy is the one who can sing:
Jesus, Thou art enough
The heart and mind to fill;
Thy patient life to calm the soul,
Thy love, its fears dispel.
