“I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me.” — Psalm 23:4
Behold, how independent of outward circumstances the Holy Ghost can make the Christian! What a bright light may shine within us when it is all dark without! How firm, how happy, how calm, how peaceful we may be, when the world shakes to and fro, and the pillars of the earth are removed! Even death itself, with all its terrible influences, has no power to suspend the music of a Christian’s heart, but rather makes that music become more sweet, more clear, more heavenly, till the last kind act which death can do is to let the earthly strain melt into the heavenly chorus, the temporal joy into the eternal bliss! Let us have confidence, then, in the blessed Spirit’s power to comfort us. Dear reader, are you…
looking forward to poverty?
Fear not; the divine Spirit can give you, in your want, a greater plenty than
the rich have in their abundance. You know not what joys may be stored
up for you in the cottage around which grace will plant the roses of
content. Are you conscious of a growing failure of your bodily powers?
Do you expect to suffer long nights of languishing and days of pain? O be
not sad! That bed may become a throne to you. You little know how every
pang that shoots through your body may be a refining fire to consume
your dross — a beam of glory to light up the secret parts of your soul. Are
the eyes growing dim? Jesus will be your light. Do the ears fail you? Jesus’
name will be your soul’s best music, and His person your dear delight.
Socrates used to say, “Philosophers can be happy without music;” and
Christians can be happier than philosophers when all outward causes of
rejoicing are withdrawn. In Thee, my God, my heart shall triumph, come
what may of ills without! By thy power, O blessed Spirit, my heart shall
be exceeding glad, though all things should fail me here below.
