May 24 The Delight Of Despair
¡§And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead.¡¨
Revelation 1:17
It may be that like the apostle John you know Jesus Christ intimately,
when suddenly He appears with no familiar characteristic at all, and the only
thing you can do is to fall at His feet as dead. There are times when God
cannot reveal Himself in any other way than in His majesty, and it is the
awfulness of the vision which brings you to the delight of despair; if you are
ever to be raised up, it must be by the hand of God.
¡§He laid His right hand upon me.¡¨ In the midst of the awfulness, a touch
comes, and you know it is the right hand of Jesus Christ. The right hand not of
restraint nor of correction nor of chastisement, but the right hand of the
Everlasting Father. Whenever His hand is laid upon you, it is ineffable peace
and comfort, the sense that ¡§underneath are the everlasting arms,¡¨ full of
sustaining and comfort and strength. When once His touch comes, nothing at all
can cast you into fear again. In the midst of all His ascended glory the Lord
Jesus comes to speak to an insignificant disciple, and to say ¡V ¡§Fear not.¡¨ His
tenderness is ineffably sweet. Do I know Him like that?
Watch some of the things that strike despair. There is despair in which
there is no delight, no horizon, no hope of anything brighter; but the delight
of despair comes when I know that ¡§in me ¡]that is, in my flesh¡^ dwelleth no good thing.¡¨ I delight to know
that there is that in me which must fall prostrate before God when He manifests
Himself, and if I am ever to be raised up it must be by the hand of God. God
can do nothing for me until I get to the limit of the possible.
