Footprints for Pilgrims - 203

We should pray for more of the working of the Spirit in us and desire to be filled with the Spirit—poor little hearts indeed, but they may be filled.
(Luke 14:1010But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. (Luke 14:10).) When God gives me a place it is one of power and nighness to Himself; but when a man takes a place for himself it is one of weakness and alienation from God, because self is the object.
