Grace, truth, life, relationship and the list of deep truths covered here goes on. J. N. Darby's "Notes on John's Epistles" are also available in his "Collected Writings." They are provided here in a convenient form for you to sit down and ponder the deep things of life presented simply and for the heart. Unlike some of J. N. Darby's writings these "Notes" are simply written. They also point the believer in the right direction for pondering the deep things of God.

Every true believer in Christ has two natures. The first is what he or she possesses as a child of Adam - it is a nature shared by all. The second is that divine life which we now possess as children of God. These are sometimes referred to as our old and new natures - one comes with natural birth, the other with new birth. This subject is not an academic one. If we do not understand that we, as believers, possess a new nature, and that our old nature is dead in God's sight, it will result in a frustrating struggle. Throughout the history of Christianity many a saint has sought to subdue the flesh and eradicate sin, not understanding that it is altogether done with in God's sight, and that he or she can live in the good of a new nature and the power of the Holy Spirit.

This epistle was written to encourage Timothy to serve in a difficult day when the mass of the Christian profession was giving up on the Apostle Paul and his doctrine. It forewarns belivers of the progressive character of corruption that would permeate Christendom and culminate in the last days with a wholesale departure from the truth of God.

“But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him” (Matthew 14:30-31).

We saw yesterday how Peter walked on the water to the Lord Jesus, with the Lord’s strength. But then he looked at the strong wind and waves and was afraid. As a result, he began to sink. But suppose the water had been perfectly calm, could he have walked on it? No, he could no more have walked on smooth water than rough water. Neither could you nor I, in our own strength! Again we learn an important lesson here.

We need the Lord’s help and His strength every day, even if things are going well for us. But when problems come and things get rough, we realize we need the Lord more. If we keep our eyes on Him, we can rise above all the difficulties. But we will sink if we start looking at the problems, just as Peter did in those waves and that wind.

Yet, when he did begin to sink and cried to the Lord, the Lord immediately held out His hand and caught him. He will do this for us too, even if we have not been trusting in Him. He never fails us, even if we forget to trust Him!

Growing in Grace
“Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established” (Proverbs 4:26).
“Every way of man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts” (Proverbs 21:2).
The English word “ponder” means to consider well, to think about. It comes from the Latin word “pondus,” which means “weight.” Sometimes we speak in English of “weighing something carefully,” and that is what the word ponder means. We think about it from every point of view, and do not act hastily.
In our verses today, we are told to ponder the path of our feet. This means that we do not act in a hurry, or make a sudden decision based on impulse and emotion. Rather we think about the matter carefully, and pray about it, asking the Lord for guidance. Then, when we do act, our ways are established, for we can have the confidence that we are going forward in the way the Lord wants us to go.
Of course, there are some things that we do not have to ponder, and should not pray about. If we have a definite scripture on which to act, we do not need to hesitate. For example, suppose a Christian young man was considering marrying a young woman who was not saved. Should he ponder that, and pray about it? No, because God is quite clear in His Word that we are not to be “unequally yoked together with believers” (2 Corinthians 6:14). To pray about something like that is really asking God to change His Word. Rather we should immediately act on God’s Word and break off that relationship. But in many things the pathway may not be clear to us, and then we need to “ponder the path” of our feet.
Then we learn that every way of man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord pondereth the hearts. We may decide on our own to go a certain way, but then the Lord Himself does some pondering. He looks at our hearts and sees what is going on there. If we want to go our own way, our hearts are wrong, for we are wanting our own will instead of the Lord’s will. Then the Lord may have to bring difficulties into our life, in order to draw us back to Himself.
Let us make sure to consider carefully what we are about to do and ask the Lord for His help!

I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. (Psalm 31:22)
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.1 – Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off. I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon. Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.2
Will the Lord cast off forever? and will he be favorable no more? Is his mercy clean gone forever? doth his promise fail forevermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? … And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.3 – I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.4

Comfort of the Scriptures
“The Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means” (2 Thess. 3:16).
God wants the hearts of His redeemed people to be filled with His own “peace always by all means.” He is “the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.” On the night before the cross, our Lord said to His own, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Peace is just the opposite of agitation and fear. God does not want us to be continually stirred up about our problems or our circumstances. He wants us to have His peace in our hearts, irrespective of our circumstances. He has told us to “be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” So “let the peace of God rule in your hearts ... and be ye thankful.” “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.”
Peace when there is trouble?
Peace when the heart is sore tried?
Yes, His own peace to guard us,
When we in Jesus abide.
