A FEW years ago a certain servant of the Lord felt led to go into the heart of Africa to tell a noted chief, Africanus by name, about Jesus the Saviour of poor sinners. His dear friends pleaded with him not to go, for, said they, “He will be drinking out of your skull in less than an hour.” Africanus was known far and wide to be a terrible man. But this man of God felt the Lord had called him to visit Africanus, so go he must. He went and told him of the love of God in the gift of His Son to die upon the cross. He preached salvation to him through the Lord Jesus, and what do you think? He was converted and confessed Jesus as his Saviour.
Dear reader, have you been converted? God is now beseeching you to take from Him this very same gift which was so readily received by Africanus. Will you still refuse God’s love in giving His Son to die, which could but melt the heart of cruel Africanus? Let that same story just now melt and win your heart. Just think of Jesus hanging on the cross for you, wounded, bleeding, and dying. Oh, confess your sins and look to Jesus.
HEART.
“Keep thy HEART with all diligence; for out it are the issues of life.
MOUTH, LIPS.
Put away from thee a forward MOUTH, and perverse. LIPS put far from thee.
EYES, EYELIDS.
Let thine EYES look right on, and let thine EYELIDS look straight before thee.
FEET.
Ponder the path of thy FEET, and let all thy ways be established.
HANDS.
