At midnight when they were due

alarm was felt. But 1t was not until

Radiant Living
LIFE DIVINELY
CONTROLLED
BY Rev. c. M. Grifteth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

Perhaps you have had crises IN
life when you felt that God was
definitely leading you. And with
out doubt He did.
When we speak of divine guld-
ance we generally have in mind
some particular incident in our
lives. But why can we not accept
a larger view of divine guidance
and believe that God not only
guides us in the individual crisis,
but that He guides us every day,
every step of the way.
If, on some days we pray for
guidance, why not believe in His
guidance in all things?
Does not divine guidance when
thus considered loom into larger
aspects of a divine control over
ones whole life?
A young lady once said in test
imony service, that upon the key
board of her life she had been try
ing to play one note at a time, and
discovered that only one false note
was sufficient to throw the whole
life into discord. But now she had
handed over the whole keyboard to
Christ, Who has brought out of her
former discords a heavenly refrain.
Why not hand over your whole
life to God, with all its interests,
aspirations, and destiny, that it
might be continuously under divine
control?
