Let God Lead

A. B. Simpson was an author, hymn writer, conference speaker, evangelist to the urban masses of New York City, and a missionary statesman.  He founded The Christian and Missionary Alliance and Nyack College.

The following is from his book The Christ Life:

"If we would abide in Christ, we must stop trying to have God help us, and fall into God’s way and let Him lead.

"We must get the idea out of our spirit that we have chosen to serve Christ and we have got to have Christ help us. We must see, rather, that we have come into His way and He is carrying us because He cannot go any other way.

"If you get on the bosom of the river, you have to go down the river; if you are in the bosom of God, you have to go with Him.

"Only surrender yourself to God, and your life will be as strong as omnipotence and as sweet as heaven."
