The Lord hath blessed me hitherto. Josh. xvii. 14. Hitherto the Lord hath blessed us, Guiding all the way; Henceforth let us trust Him fully, Hitherto the Lord hath loved us, Hitherto the Lord hath blessed us, Henceforth let us live to bless Him, -Frances Ridley Havergal. 'The oyster mends its shell with a pearl." So even wounds which last year's follies and sins made in us may, through the healing grace of God, become pearls in our character in the after years.-J. R. Miller. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee. Ps. iv. 22. "Cast thy burden'' on Him in the same way the ship in a storm casts her burden on the anchor, which anchor bolds on to its sure fixing place. And to my mind, that is the more beautiful sense of the two-a sense which once entered into, may be followed out in these glorious verses: And I see the good ship riding, all in a perilous road; The low reef booming on her lee; the swell of ocean poured Sea after sea, from stern to stern; the main mast by the board; The bulwarks down; the rudder gone; the boats stood by the chains. But courage still, brave mariners, the ANCHOR yet remains: And he will flinch-no, never an inch-until ye pitch sky high; Then he moves his head, as if he said, "Fear nought; for bere am I!"' -J. M. Neale's Commentary. 1904 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. Ps. xix. 2. The lesson of day and night is one which it were well if all men learned. It should be among our day-thoughts and night-thoughts to remember the flight of time, the changeful character of earthly things, the brevity of both joy and sorrow, the preciousness of life, our utter powerlessness to recall the hours once flown, and the irresistible approach of eternity. Day bids us labor, night reminds us to prepare for our last home; day bids us work for God, and night invites us to rest in Him; day bids us look for endless day, and night warns to escape from everlasting night.-C. H. Spurgeon. "What time I am afraid, I WILL TRUST IN THEE." (Ps. lvi. 3.) This a good maxim with which to go into a world of danger; a good maxim to go to sea with; a good maxim in a storm; a good maxim when in danger on the land; a good maxim when we are sick; a good maxim when we think of death. - Albert Barnes. The way which Thou wouldst have me go; That I my will in Thine may lose; That what Thou, Lord, for me shalt choose, I, too, may choose. A LIFE MOTTO. -Selected. To me to live is Christ. Phil. i. 21. V. 14, 15. Life like Christ, "changed into same image, from glory to glory.' 2 Cor. iii. 18. After such a life, "to die is gain" with Christ. "Like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." Phil. i. 23; 1 Jno. iii. 2. ★Mrs.Russell Sage Oct 03 -D. W. Whittle. |
