Our Inspirations Require to be Revised
1 Chronicles 17:1-10
Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, See, I dwell in an house of cedars…


There are extemporaneous inspirations in life which have to be revised, amended, and in some instances discarded altogether. A judgment is not always right simply because it is sudden. There have been days upon which we have been perfectly sure that our duty lay along such and such lines; everything concurred to prove the providence of the situation; circumstances and impressions combined to show that a well-defined line of action had been actually described by the Divine finger. It is precisely where duty appears to be so plain that vigilance should be most on the alert.

(J. Parker, D. D.)
