GOD’S PARTNERSHIP WITH MAN
Scripture
“Come now, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh. And God said, I AM THAT I AM. Thus shall thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” — Exo_3:10-14.
God's Partnership
NOTHING IS more needed to-day than God’s Partnership as a realised fact in Christian experience. Many of us may agree with what is written in these lines. Then we may put it aside as a dream too ethereal to be of practical service. But when the Apostle said that “our fellowship, i.e. our partnership, is with the Father.” It is also “with His Son Jesus Christ.” This surely means that we should enter upon our inheritance.
Our Great Partner
“I AM… ” says our great Partner. “Fill in your need, and I will meet your demand. I will do this according to the riches of My glory in Christ Jesus.” Let us tear out the order-forms from God’s service-register, fill them up, and present them for delivery. Not one of them would be dishonoured. And if we had wrongly diagnosed our need, He would erase the demand based on our imperfect knowledge. He would substitute what we would ask if we knew. There is nothing more certain than this: the more we ask of God, the more He is pleased. He does exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think.
God of the Living
Our Lord used this incident. He was challenged by the Sadducees to adduce 1proof of the future life from the Books of Moses. He answered by quoting this paragraph of the burning bush. He emphasized that Moses referred to God as the “God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.” He highlighted this to prove that God is the God of the living. They are not the dead. All live unto Him.
The Ever-Present God
What a comfort there is in this thought. Our beloved who has passed from us are in-breathing the same atmosphere as we are. We all eat the same spiritual meat and all drink the same spiritual drink. We see in a mirror darkly. They see face to face. This identity of fellowship comes from our partnership with the “I AM,” the ever-present God. He fills heaven and earth. This is a proof. It is a pledge that they have not altered essentially. They are drinking of the same stream higher up and nearer its source: “One family we dwell in him.”
PRAYER
Complete thy perfect work in our souls, O Father. We are still bound with many chains. We tarry among things seen and temporal. We are exposed to the storms of the outer world. We are wrestling with its ills. But we are not dismayed. We are more than earth and dust. We are akin to Thee, O Spirit of the Lord. We can experience Thy heavenly influence. Fill us with faith and love and hope. AMEN.

adducer noun
Did you know?
We won’t lead you astray over the history of adduce; it is one of a plethora of familiar words that trace to the Latin root dūcere, which means “to lead.” Perhaps we can induce you to deduce a few other dūcere offspring if we offer a few hints about them. One is a synonym of kidnap, one’s a title for a British royal, and one’s another word for decrease. There are your leads; here are the answers. They are abduct, duke, and reduce, respectively. There are also many others, including induce, which means “to persuade” or “to bring about.”
