Weakness Linked to Strength
Illustration★★★★I observed on one of our new trams—a great heavy electric tram pursuing its ponderous way along the metals—a young fellow, who was not a very good hand at bicycling, come up and catch hold of the iron rail, and as the great tram swung on, he went with it. He was not fool enough to try and make the tram come his way, and as we swept round curves he swept round also, and the speed we went he went, and his bicycle just followed suit so easily, swiftly, and naturally.
And as I saw him speeding along I said: ‘May I link on with the movement of Thy mighty purpose on the iron rails of justice and love! Sweep on, O Son of God, in Thy great work for men, and let me be linked with Thee for ever” (1 Cor. xii. 6).
REV. F. B. MEYER, B.A.
The point
A weak cyclist linked to a moving tram went effortlessly with it; similarly, our weakness linked to God's mighty purpose carries us to fulfillment.
