Looking at past failure you will constantly find that it arose from settling things according to circumstances. I cannot settle anything myself; if I am in His presence, I get guidance from the Lord in His circumstances. There is a Man in heaven in the highest glory! He can enter into everything where His people would not be able to move for themselves. Is His heart less occupied, His eye less fixed on me now than it was on Stephen then? The curtain was drawn back for him. It is equally true to faith now!
G. V. Wigram
