God's Secret Words
Isaiah 18:4-5
For so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat on herbs…


How striking are those secret words, whispered by God to His favoured servant, "The Lord said unto me." It was as though He had called Isaiah aside, and spoken to him confidentially of matters which must not be uttered to uncircumcised ears. It was thus that God spake of old to Abraham and Moses. And in modern days it is remarkable, in reading the journals of George Fox, to find how conscious he was of similar confidences reposed in him by his ever-present and faithful Friend.

(F. B. Meyer, B. A.)
