“And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches. For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye and your cattle, and your beasts.” — 2 Kings 3:16,17
The armies of the three kings were famishing for want of water: God was about to send it, and in these words the prophet announced the coming blessing. Here was a case of human helplessness: not a drop of water could all the valiant men procure from the skies or find in the wells of earth. Thus often the people of the Lord are at their wits’ end; they see the vanity of the creature, and learn experimentally where their help is to be found. Still the people were to make a believing preparation for the divine blessing; they were to dig the trenches in which the precious liquid would be held. The church must…
by her varied agencies, efforts, and prayers, make herself ready to be blessed; she must make the pools, and the Lord will fill them. This must be done in faith, in the full assurance that the blessing is about to descend. By-and-by there was a singular bestowal of the needed boon. Not as in Elijah’s case did the shower pour from the clouds, but in a silent and mysterious manner the pools were filled. The Lord has His own sovereign modes of action: He is not tied to manner and time as we are, but doeth as He pleases among the sons of men. It is ours thankfully to receive from Him, and not to dictate to Him. We must also notice the remarkable abundance of the supply — there was enough for the need of all. And so it is in the gospel blessing; all the wants of the congregation and of the entire church shall be met by the divine power in answer to prayer; and above all this, victory shall be speedily given to the armies of the Lord.
What am I doing for Jesus? What trenches am I digging? O Lord, make me
ready to receive the blessing which Thou art so willing to bestow.

“Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.” — 1 Timothy 6:17
Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw His hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the oil shall not be stayed. He is a sun ever-shining; He is manna always falling round the camp; He is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life from His smitten side; the rain of His grace is always dropping; the river of His bounty is ever-flowing, and the well-spring of His love is constantly overflowing. As the King can never die, so His grace can never fail. Daily we pluck His fruit, and daily His branches bend down to our hand with a fresh store of mercy. There are seven feast-days in His weeks, and as many as are the days, so many are the banquets in His years. Who has ever…
returned from His door unblessed? Who has ever risen from His table
unsatisfied, or from His bosom un-emparadised? His mercies are new
every morning and fresh every evening. Who can know the number of His
benefits, or recount the list of His bounties? Every sand which drops from
the glass of time is but the tardy follower of a myriad of mercies. The
wings of our hours are covered with the silver of His kindness, and with
the yellow gold of His affection. The river of time bears from the
mountains of eternity the golden sands of His favour. The countless stars
are but as the standard bearers of a more innumerable host of blessings.
Who can count the dust of the benefits which He bestows on Jacob, or tell
the number of the fourth part of His mercies towards Israel? How shall my
soul extol Him who daily loadeth us with benefits, and who crowneth us
with loving-kindness? O that my praise could be as ceaseless as His
bounty! O miserable tongue, how canst thou be silent? Wake up, I pray
thee, lest I call thee no more my glory, but my shame. “Awake, psaltery
and harp: I myself will awake right early.”

“Made perfect.” — Hebrews 12:23
Recollect that there are two kinds of perfection which the Christian needs — the perfection of justification in the person of Jesus, and the perfection of sanctification wrought in him by the Holy Spirit. At present, corruption yet remains even in the breasts of the regenerate — experience soon teaches us this. Within us are still lusts and evil imaginations. But I rejoice to know that the day is coming when God shall finish the work which He has begun; and He shall present my soul, not only perfect in Christ, but perfect through the Spirit, without spot or blemish, or any such thing. Can it be true that…
this poor sinful heart of mine is to become holy even as God
is holy? Can it be that this spirit, which often cries, “O wretched man that
I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this sin and death?” shall get
rid of sin and death — that I shall have no evil things to vex my ears, and
no unholy thoughts to disturb my peace? Oh, happy hour! may it be
hastened! When I cross the Jordan, the work of sanctification will be
finished; but not till that moment shall I even claim perfection in myself.
Then my spirit shall have its last baptism in the Holy Spirit’s fire.
Methinks I long to die to receive that last and final purification which shall
usher me into heaven. Not an angel more pure than I shall be, for I shall be
able to say, in a double sense, “I am clean,” through Jesus’ blood, and
through the Spirit’s work. Oh, how should we extol the power of the Holy
Ghost in thus making us fit to stand before our Father in heaven! Yet let
not the hope of perfection hereafter make us content with imperfection
now. If it does this, our hope cannot be genuine; for a good hope is a
purifying thing, even now. The work of grace must be abiding in us now or
it cannot be perfected then. Let us pray to “be filled with the Spirit,” that
we may bring forth increasingly the fruits of righteousness.

“All that believe are justified.” — Acts 13:39
The believer in Christ receives a present justification. Faith does not produce this fruit by-and-by, but now. So far as justification is the result of faith, it is given to the soul in the moment when it closes with Christ, and accepts Him as its all in all. Are they who stand before the throne of God justified now? — so are we, as truly and as clearly justified as they who walk in white and sing melodious praises to celestial harps. The thief upon the cross was justified the moment that he turned the eye of faith to Jesus; and Paul, the aged, after years of service, was not more justified
than…
was the thief with no service at all. We are to-day accepted in the
Beloved, to-day absolved from sin, to-day acquitted at the bar of God. Oh!
soul-transporting thought! There are some clusters of Eshcol’s vine which
we shall not be able to gather till we enter heaven; but this is a bough
which runneth over the wall. This is not as the corn of the land, which we
can never eat till we cross the Jordan; but this is part of the manna in the
wilderness, a portion of our daily nutriment with which God supplies us
in our journeying to and fro. We are now — even now pardoned; even now
are our sins put away; even now we stand in the sight of God accepted, as
though we had never been guilty. “There is therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus.” There is not a sin in the Book of God,
even now, against one of His people. Who dareth to lay anything to their
charge? There is neither speck, nor spot, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing
remaining upon any one believer in the matter of justification in the sight
of the Judge of all the earth. Let present privilege awaken us to present
duty, and now, while life lasts, let us spend and be spent for our sweet
Lord Jesus.

“He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom.” — Isaiah 40:11
Who is He of whom such gracious words are spoken? He is THE GOOD
SHEPHERD. Why doth He carry the lambs in His bosom? Because He
hath a tender heart, and any weakness at once melts His heart. The sighs,
the ignorance, the feebleness of the little ones of His flock draw forth His
compassion. It is His office, as a faithful High Priest, to consider the weak.
Besides, He purchased them with blood, they are His property: He must
and will care for that which cost Him so dear. Then He is responsible for
each lamb, bound by covenant engagements not to lose one. Moreover,
they are all a part of His glory and reward.
But how may we understand the expression, “He will carry them”? Sometimes He…
carries them by not permitting them to endure much trial.
Providence deals tenderly with them. Often they are “carried” by being
filled with an unusual degree of love, so that they bear up and stand fast.
Though their knowledge may not be deep, they have great sweetness in
what they do know. Frequently He “carries” them by giving them a very
simple faith, which takes the promise just as it stands, and believingly runs
with every trouble straight to Jesus. The simplicity of their faith gives
them an unusual degree of confidence, which carries them above the world.
“He carries the lambs in His bosom.” Here is boundless affection. Would
He put them in His bosom if He did not love them much? Here is tender
nearness: so near are they, that they could not possibly be nearer. Here is
hallowed familiarity: there are precious love-passages between Christ and
His weak ones. Here is perfect safety: in His bosom who can hurt them?
They must hurt the Shepherd first. Here is perfect rest and sweetest
comfort. Surely we are not sufficiently sensible of the infinite tenderness
of Jesus!

“Joint heirs with Christ.” — Romans 8:17
The boundless realms of His Father’s universe are Christ’s by prescriptive right. As “heir of all things,” He is the sole proprietor of the vast creation of God, and He has admitted us to claim the whole as ours, by virtue of that deed of joint-heir-ship which the Lord hath ratified with His chosen people. The golden streets of paradise, the pearly gates, the river of life, the transcendent bliss, and the unutterable glory, are, by our blessed Lord, made over to us for our everlasting possession. All that He has He shares with His people. The crown royal He has placed upon the head of His Church, appointing her a kingdom, and calling her sons a royal priesthood, a generation of priests and kings. He uncrowned Himself that we might…
have a coronation of glory; He would not sit upon His own throne until He
had procured a place upon it for all who overcome by His blood. Crown
the head and the whole body shares the honour. Behold here the reward of
every Christian conqueror! Christ’s throne, crown, sceptre, palace,
treasure, robes, heritage, are yours. Far superior to the jealousy,
selfishness, and greed, which admit of no participation of their advantages,
Christ deems His happiness completed by His people sharing it. “The
glory which thou gavest me have I given them.” “These things have I
spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy
might be full.” The smiles of His Father are all the sweeter to Him, because
His people share them. The honours of His kingdom are more pleasing,
because His people appear with Him in glory. More valuable to Him are
His conquests, since they have taught His people to overcome. He delights
in His throne, because on it there is a place for them. He rejoices in His
royal robes, since over them His skirts are spread. He delights the more in
His joy, because He calls them to enter into it.

“Thou art my portion, O Lord.” — Psalm 119:57
Look at thy possessions, O believer, and compare thy portion with the lot of thy fellowmen. Some of them have their portion in the field; they are rich, and their harvests yield them a golden increase; but what are harvests compared with thy God, who is the God of harvests? What are bursting granaries compared with Him, who is the Husbandman, and feeds thee with the bread of heaven? Some have their portion in the city; their wealth is abundant, and flows to them in constant streams, until they become a very reservoir of gold; but what is gold compared with thy God? Thou couldst not live on it; thy spiritual life could not be sustained by it. Put it on a troubled conscience, and could it allay its pangs? Apply it to a desponding heart, and see if it could…
stay a solitary groan, or give one grief
the less? But thou hast God, and in Him thou hast more than gold or riches
ever could buy. Some have their portion in that which most men love —
applause and fame; but ask thyself, is not thy God more to thee than that?
What if a myriad clarions should be loud in thine applause, would this
prepare thee to pass the Jordan, or cheer thee in prospect of judgment?
No, there are griefs in life which wealth cannot alleviate; and there is the
deep need of a dying hour, for which no riches can provide. But when thou
hast God for thy portion, thou hast more than all else put together. In Him
every want is met, whether in life or in death. With God for thy portion
thou art rich indeed, for He will supply thy need, comfort thy heart,
assuage thy grief, guide thy steps, be with thee in the dark valley, and then
take thee home, to enjoy Him as thy portion for ever. “I have enough,”
said Esau; this is the best thing a worldly man can say, but Jacob replies,
“I have all things,” which is a note too high for carnal minds.

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5
Christian! If thou art in a night of trial, think of the morrow; cheer up thy
heart with the thought of the coming of thy Lord. Be patient, for
“Lo! He comes with clouds descending.”
Be patient! The Husbandman waits until He reaps His harvest. Be patient; for you know who has said, “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be.” If you are never so wretched now, remember…
“A few more rolling suns, at most,
Will land thee on fair Canaan’s coast.”
Thy head may be crowned with thorny troubles now, but it shall wear a
starry crown ere long; thy hand may be filled with cares — it shall sweep
the strings of the harp of heaven soon. Thy garments may be soiled with
dust now; they shall be white by-and-by. Wait a little longer. Ah! how
despicable our troubles and trials will seem when we look back upon them!
Looking at them here in the prospect, they seem immense; but when we
get to heaven we shall then
“With transporting joys recount,
The labours of our feet.”
Our trials will then seem light and momentary afflictions. Let us go on
boldly; if the night be never so dark, the morning cometh, which is more
than they can say who are shut up in the darkness of hell. Do you know
what it is thus to live on the future — to live on expectation — to antedate
heaven? Happy believer, to have so sure, so comforting a hope. It may be
all dark now, but it will soon be light; it may be all trial now, but it will
soon be all happiness. What matters it though “weeping may endure for a
night,” when “joy cometh in the morning?”

“Fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again.” — Genesis 46:3,4
Jacob must have shuddered at the thought of leaving the land of his father’s sojourning, and dwelling among heathen strangers. It was a new scene, and likely to be a trying one: who shall venture among couriers of a foreign monarch without anxiety? Yet the way was evidently appointed for him, and therefore he resolved to go. This is frequently the position of believers now — they are called to perils and temptations altogether untried: at such seasons let them imitate Jacob’s example by offering sacrifices of prayer unto God, and seeking His direction; let them not take a step until they have waited upon the Lord for His blessing: then they will have Jacob’s companion to be their friend and helper. How blessed to feel assured that…
the Lord is with us in all our ways, and condescends to go down into our humiliations and banishments with us! Even beyond the ocean our Father’s love beams like the sun in its strength. We cannot hesitate to go where Jehovah promises His presence; even the valley of deathshade grows bright with the radiance of this assurance. Marching onwards with faith in their God, believers shall have Jacob’s promise. They shall be brought up again, whether it be from the troubles of life or the chambers of death. Jacob’s seed came out of Egypt in due time, and so shall all the faithful pass unscathed through the tribulation of life, and the terror of death. Let us exercise Jacob’s confidence. “Fear not,” is the Lord’s command and His divine encouragement to those who at His bidding are launching upon new seas; the divine presence and preservation forbid so much as one unbelieving fear. Without our God we should fear to move; but when He bids us to, it would be dangerous to tarry. Reader, go forward, and fear not.

“And will manifest myself to him.” — John 14:21
The Lord Jesus gives special revelations of Himself to His people. Even if Scripture did not declare this, there are many of the children of God who could testify the truth of it from their own experience. They have had manifestations of their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in a peculiar manner, such as no mere reading or hearing could afford. In the biographies of eminent saints, you will find many instances recorded in which Jesus has been pleased, in a very special manner to speak to their souls, and to unfold the wonders of His person; yea, so have their souls been steeped in happiness that they have thought themselves to be in heaven, whereas they were not there, though they were well nigh on the threshold of it — for when…
Jesus manifests Himself to His people, it is heaven on earth; it is
paradise in embryo; it is bliss begun. Especial manifestations of Christ
exercise a holy influence on the believer’s heart. One effect will be humility.
If a man says, “I have had such-and-such spiritual communications, I am a
great man,” he has never had any communion with Jesus at all; for “God
hath respect unto the lowly: but the proud He knoweth afar off.” He does
not need to come near them to know them, and will never give them any
visits of love. Another effect will be happiness; for in God’s presence
there are pleasures for evermore. Holiness will be sure to follow. A man
who has no holiness has never had this manifestation. Some men profess a
great deal; but we must not believe any one unless we see that his deeds
answer to what he says. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked.” He will
not bestow His favours upon the wicked: for while He will not cast away
a perfect man, neither will He respect an evil doer. Thus there will be three
effects of nearness to Jesus — humility, happiness, and holiness. May
God give them to thee, Christian!
