The voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. Genesis 3:8
"MY soul, now
that the cool of the day has come, retire awhile and hearken to the
voice of thy God. He is always ready to speak with thee when thou art
prepared to hear.
---If there be any slowness to commune it is not on His
part, but altogether on thine own, for He stands at the door and knocks,
and if His people will but open He rejoices to enter.
Q: But in what state
is my heart, which is my Lord's garden?
May I venture to hope that it
is
well trimmed and watered,
and is bringing forth fruit fit for Him?
---Come, therefore, O Lord, my God, my soul invites Thee earnestly,
and waits for Thee eagerly.
Come to me, O Jesus, my well-beloved, and
plant fresh flowers in my garden, such as I see blooming in such
perfection in Thy matchless character!
Come, O my Father, who art the
Husbandman, and deal with me in Thy tenderness and prudence!
Come, O
Holy Spirit, and bedew my whole nature, as the herbs are now moistened
with the evening dews.
---O that God would speak to me.
Speak, Lord, for
Thy servant heareth!
Sweet is the cool twilight, when every star
seems like the eye of heaven, and the cool wind is as the breath of
celestial love." Charles Spurgeon
