"When the sun shines, the sick quit their chambers, and walked abroad to breathe the fresh air. When the sun brings spring, the cattle quit their stalls and seek pasture on the higher grounds. When we have conscious fellowship with the Lord, we leave the stall of despondency and walk in the fields of holy confidence, feeding on the sweet pasturage that grows nearer heaven.
To "go forth" and to "grow up" is a double promise. Enjoy both blessings! Why be a prisoner? Arise, and walk at liberty.
Grow Up
You shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.
~ Malachi 4:2
"When the sun shines, the sick quit their chambers, and walked abroad to breathe the fresh air. When the sun brings spring, the cattle quit their stalls and seek pasture on the higher grounds. When we have conscious fellowship with the Lord, we leave the stall of despondency and walk in the fields of holy confidence, feeding on the sweet pasturage that grows nearer heaven.
To "go forth" and to "grow up" is a double promise. Enjoy both blessings! Why be a prisoner? Arise, and walk at liberty. Why remain a babe in grace? Grow up. Young calves grow fast, especially if they are stall-fed; and you have the choice care of your Redeemer. Grow, then, in grace and in knowledge of your Lord and Savior. The Sun of Righteousness has risen upon you. Open your heart, as buds to the sun, expand and grow up into Him in all things."
