This is the portion of those to whom the prayer is granted—­“One thing have I desired of the Lord, and that will I seek after; that I may dwell all my days in the house of the Lord; to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.”  “In the secret of His pavilion He hideth me.”  God Himself will take you up, and will keep you there, so that all your work shall be done in God.  Beloved, wait continually upon God.  You can not do this unless you are in His presence.  You must live in His presence.  Then the blessed habit of waiting upon God will be learned.  The real difficulty of getting to the point of real waiting upon God, is because most Christians have not sought to realize the nearness of God, and to give God the first place.  But let us strive after this, let us trust God to give it to us by His grace, let us wait on God all the day.  “My eyes,” says one, “are ever towards Thee.”  Wait upon God for guidance, and God, if you wait much upon Him, will lead you up into new power for His service, into new gladness in His fellowship.  He will lead you out into a larger trust in Him; He will prepare you to expect new things from Him.  Beloved, there is no knowing what God will do for a man who is utterly given up to Him.  Praise His name!  Let each one of us say, “May my life be to live and die, to labor and to pray continually for this one thing:  that in me, and around me, and in the church; that throughout the world ’God may be all in all.’” A little seed is the beginning of a great tree.  A mustard seed becomes a tree in which the birds of the air can nestle.  That great day of which the text speaks, when Christ Himself shall be subject to the Father, and deliver up the Kingdom to the Father, and God shall be all in all—­that is the great tree of the Kingdom of God reaching its perfect consummation and glory.  Oh, let us take the seed of that glory into our hearts, and let us bow in lowly surrender and submission, and say, “Amen, Lord; this be my one thought.  This be my life—­to speak and to work, to pray and to exist only that others may be brought to know Him too.  This be my life—­to yield myself to the unutterable yearnings of the Holy Spirit, that I may not rest, but ever keep my eye on that day—­the day of glory, when in very deed God shall be all in all.”

God help every one of us.  God help us all to yield ourselves to Him, and to Christ, and to make it our every-day life; for His name’s sake.  Amen.
