“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said… Be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods.” — Daniel 3:16, 18
The narrative of the manly courage and marvellous deliverance of the three holy children, or rather champions, is well calculated to excite in the minds of believers firmness and steadfastness in upholding the truth in the teeth of tyranny and in the very jaws of death. Let young Christians especially learn from their example, both in matters of faith in religion, and matters of uprightness in business, never to sacrifice their consciences. Lose all rather than lose your integrity, and when all else is gone, still hold fast a clear conscience as the rarest jewel which can adorn the bosom of a mortal. Be not guided by the will-o’-the-wisp of policy, but by the pole-star of divine authority. Follow the right at all hazards. When you see…
no present
advantage, walk by faith and not by sight. Do God the honour to trust
Him when it comes to matters of loss for the sake of principle. See
whether He will be your debtor! See if He doth not even in this life prove
His word that “Godliness, with contentment, is great gain,” and that they
who “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, shall have all
these things added unto them.” Should it happen that, in the providence of
God, you are a loser by conscience, you shall find that if the Lord pays
you not back in the silver of earthly prosperity, He will discharge His
promise in the gold of spiritual joy. Remember that a man’s life consisteth
not in the abundance of that which he possesseth. To wear a guileless
spirit, to have a heart void of offence, to have the favour and smile of God,
is greater riches than the mines of Ophir could yield, or the traffic of Tyre
could win. “Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and
inward contention therewith.” An ounce of heart’s-ease is worth a ton of
gold.

“A certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto Him, Blessed is the womb that bare Thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But He said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.” — Luke 11:27, 28
It is fondly imagined by some that it must have involved very special privileges to have been the mother of our Lord, because they supposed that she had the benefit of looking into His very heart in a way in which we cannot hope to do. There may be an appearance of plausibility in the supposition, but not much. We do not know that Mary knew more than others; what she did know she did well to lay up in her heart; but she does not appear from anything we read in the Evangelists to have been a better-instructed believer than any other of Christ’s disciples. All that she knew we also may discover. Do you wonder that…
we should say so? Here
is a text to prove it: “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him,
and He will show them His covenant.” Remember the Master’s words —
”Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his
Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of
my Father I have made known unto you.” So blessedly does this Divine
Revealer of secrets tell us His heart, that He keepeth back nothing which is
profitable to us; His own assurance is, “If it were not so, I would have told
you.” Doth He not this day manifest Himself unto us as He doth not unto
the world? It is even so; and therefore we will not ignorantly cry out,
“Blessed is the womb that bare thee,” but we will intelligently bless God
that, having heard the Word and kept it, we have first of all as true a
communion with the Saviour as the Virgin had, and in the second place as
true an acquaintance with the secrets of His heart as she can be supposed
to have obtained. Happy soul to be thus privileged!

“Waiting for the adoption.” — Romans 8:23
Even in this world saints are God’s children, but men cannot discover them to be so, except by certain moral characteristics. The adoption is not manifested, the children are not yet openly declared. Among the Romans a man might adopt a child, and keep it private for a long time: but there was a second adoption in public; when the child was brought before the constituted authorities its former garments were taken off, and the father who took it to be his child gave it raiment suitable to its new condition of life. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be.” We are not yet…
arrayed in the apparel which befits the
royal family of heaven; we are wearing in this flesh and blood just what we
wore as the sons of Adam; but we know that “when He shall appear” who
is the “first-born among many brethren,” we shall be like Him, we shall see
Him as He is. Cannot you imagine that a child taken from the lowest ranks
of society, and adopted by a Roman senator, would say to himself, “I long
for the day when I shall be publicly adopted. Then I shall leave off these
plebeian garments, and be robed as becomes my senatorial rank”? Happy
in what he has received, for that very reason he groans to get the fulness of
what is promised him. So it is with us today. We are waiting till we shall
put on our proper garments, and shall be manifested as the children of
God. We are young nobles, and have not yet worn our coronets. We are
young brides, and the marriage day is not yet come, and by the love our
Spouse bears us, we are led to long and sigh for the bridal morning. Our
very happiness makes us groan after more; our joy, like a swollen spring,
longs to well up like an Iceland geyser, leaping to the skies, and it heaves
and groans within our spirit for want of space and room by which to
manifest itself to men.

“Ephraim is a cake not turned.” — Hosea 7:8
A cake not turned is uncooked on one side; and so Ephraim was, in many respects, untouched by divine grace: though there was some partial obedience, there was very much rebellion left. My soul, I charge thee, see whether this be thy case. Art thou thorough in the things of God? Has grace gone through the very centre of thy being so as to be felt in its divine operations in all thy powers, thy actions, thy words, and thy thoughts? To be sanctified, spirit, soul, and body, should be thine aim and prayer; and although sanctification may not be perfect in thee anywhere in degree, yet it must be universal in its action; there must not be the…
appearance of
holiness in one place and reigning sin in another, else thou, too, wilt be a
cake not turned.
A cake not turned is soon burnt on the side nearest the fire, and although
no man can have too much religion, there are some who seem burnt black
with bigoted zeal for that part of truth which they have received, or are
charred to a cinder with a vainglorious Pharisaic ostentation of those
religious performances which suit their humour. The assumed appearance
of superior sanctity frequently accompanies a total absence of all vital
godliness. The saint in public is a devil in private. He deals in flour by day
and in soot by night. The cake which is burned on one side, is dough on the
other.
If it be so with me, O Lord, turn me! Turn my unsanctified nature to the
fire of Thy love and let it feel the sacred glow, and let my burnt side cool a
little while I learn my own weakness and want of heat when I am removed
from Thy heavenly flame. Let me not be found a double-minded man, but
one entirely under the powerful influence of reigning grace; for well I know
if I am left like a cake unturned, and am not on both sides the subject of
Thy grace, I must be consumed for ever amid everlasting burnings.

“That those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” — Hebrews 12:27
We have many things in our possession at the present moment which can be shaken, and it ill becomes a Christian man to set much store by them, for there is nothing stable beneath these rolling skies; change is written upon all things. Yet, we have certain “things which cannot be shaken,” and I invite you this evening to think of them, that if the things which can be shaken should all be taken away, you may derive real comfort from the things that cannot be shaken, which will remain. Whatever your losses have been, or may be, you enjoy present salvation. You are standing at the foot of His cross, trusting alone in the merit of Jesus’ precious blood, and no rise or fall of the markets can interfere with your salvation in Him; no…
breaking of banks, no failures and bankruptcies can touch that. Then you
are a child of God this evening. God is your Father. No change of
circumstances can ever rob you of that. Although by losses brought to
poverty, and stripped bare, you can say, “He is my Father still. In my
Father’s house are many mansions; therefore will I not be troubled.” You
have another permanent blessing, namely, the love of Jesus Christ. He who
is God and Man loves you with all the strength of His affectionate nature
— nothing can affect that. The fig tree may not blossom, and the flocks
may cease from the field, it matters not to the man who can sing, “My
Beloved is mine, and I am His.” Our best portion and richest heritage we
cannot lose. Whatever troubles come, let us play the man; let us show that
we are not such little children as to be cast down by what may happen in
this poor fleeting state of time. Our country is Immanuel’s land, our hope
is above the sky, and therefore, calm as the summer’s ocean; we will see
the wreck of everything earthborn, and yet rejoice in the God of our
salvation.

“He shall build the temple of the Lord; and He shall bear the glory.” — Zechariah 6:13
Christ Himself is the builder of His spiritual temple, and He has built it on the mountains of His unchangeable affection, His omnipotent grace, and His infallible truthfulness. But as it was in Solomon’s temple, so in this; the materials need making ready. There are the “Cedars of Lebanon,” but they are not framed for the building; they are not cut down, and shaped, and made into those planks of cedar, whose odoriferous beauty shall make glad the courts of the Lord’s house in Paradise. There are also the rough stones still in the quarry, they must be hewn thence, and squared. All this is Christ’s own work. Each individual believer is…
being prepared, and
polished, and made ready for his place in the temple; but Christ’s own
hand performs the preparation-work. Afflictions cannot sanctify,
excepting as they are used by Him to this end. Our prayers and efforts
cannot make us ready for heaven, apart from the hand of Jesus, who
fashioneth our hearts aright.
As in the building of Solomon’s temple, “there was neither hammer, nor
axe, nor any tool of iron, heard in the house,” because all was brought
perfectly ready for the exact spot it was to occupy — so is it with the
temple which Jesus builds; the making ready is all done on earth. When we
reach heaven, there will be no sanctifying us there, no squaring us with
affliction, no planing us with suffering. No, we must be made meet here —
all that Christ will do beforehand; and when He has done it, we shall be
ferried by a loving hand across the stream of death, and brought to the
heavenly Jerusalem, to abide as eternal pillars in the temple of our Lord.
“Beneath His eye and care,
The edifice shall rise,
Majestic, strong, and fair,
And shine above the skies.”

“The foundation of God standeth sure.” — 2 Timothy 2:19
The foundation upon which our faith rests is this, that “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them.” The great fact on which genuine faith relies is, that “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us,” and that “Christ also hath suffered for sin, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God”; “Who Himself bare our sins in His own body on the tree”; “For the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” In one word, the great pillar of the Christian’s hope is substitution. The vicarious sacrifice of Christ for the guilty, Christ being made sin for us that we might be made the…
righteousness of God in Him, Christ offering up a true and proper
expiatory and substitutionary sacrifice in the room, place, and stead of as
many as the Father gave Him, who are known to God by name, and are
recognized in their own hearts by their trusting in Jesus — this is the
cardinal fact of the gospel. If this foundation were removed, what could we
do? But it standeth firm as the throne of God. We know it; we rest on it;
we rejoice in it; and our delight is to hold it, to meditate upon it, and to
proclaim it, while we desire to be actuated and moved by gratitude for it in
every part of our life and conversation. In these days a direct attack is
made upon the doctrine of the atonement. Men cannot bear substitution.
They gnash their teeth at the thought of the Lamb of God bearing the sin
of man. But we, who know by experience the preciousness of this truth,
will proclaim it in defiance of them confidently and unceasingly. We will
neither dilute it nor change it, nor fritter it away in any shape or fashion. It
shall still be Christ, a positive substitute, bearing human guilt and suffering
in the stead of men. We cannot, dare not, give it up, for it is our life, and
despite every controversy we feel that “Nevertheless the foundation of
God standeth sure.”

“Thou art fairer than the children of men.” — Psalm 45:2
The entire person of Jesus is but as one gem, and His life is all along but
one impression of the seal. He is altogether complete; not only in His
several parts, but as a gracious all-glorious whole. His character is not a
mass of fair colours mixed confusedly, nor a heap of precious stones laid
carelessly one upon another; He is a picture of beauty and a breastplate of
glory. In Him, all the “things of good repute” are in their proper places,
and assist in adorning each other. Not one feature in His glorious person
attracts attention at the expense of others; but He is perfectly and
altogether lovely.
Oh, Jesus! Thy power, Thy grace, Thy justice, Thy tenderness, Thy truth, Thy majesty, and Thine immutability make up such a man, or rather such a God-man, as neither…
heaven nor earth hath seen elsewhere. Thy
infancy, Thy eternity, Thy sufferings, Thy triumphs, Thy death, and
Thine immortality, are all woven in one gorgeous tapestry, without seam
or rent. Thou art music without discord; Thou art many, and yet not
divided; Thou art all things, and yet not diverse. As all the colours blend
into one resplendent rainbow, so all the glories of heaven and earth meet in
Thee, and unite so wondrously, that there is none like Thee in all things;
nay, if all the virtues of the most excellent were bound in one bundle, they
could not rival Thee, Thou mirror of all perfection. Thou hast been
anointed with the holy oil of myrrh and cassia, which Thy God hath
reserved for Thee alone; and as for Thy fragrance, it is as the holy
perfume, the like of which none other can ever mingle, even with the art of
the apothecary; each spice is fragrant, but the compound is divine.
“Oh, sacred symmetry! oh, rare connection
Of many perfects, to make one perfection!
Oh, heavenly music, where all parts do meet
In one sweet strain, to make one perfect sweet!”

“Straightway they forsook their nets, and followed Him.” — Mark 1:18
When they heard the call of Jesus, Simon and Andrew obeyed at once without demur. If we would always, punctually and with resolute zeal, put in practice what we hear upon the spot, or at the first fit occasion, our attendance at the means of grace, and our reading of good books, could not fail to enrich us spiritually. He will not lose his loaf who has taken care at once to eat it, neither can he be deprived of the benefit of the doctrine who has already acted upon it. Most readers and hearers become moved so far as to purpose to amend; but, alas! the proposal is a blossom which has not been knit, and therefore…
no fruit comes of it; they wait, they waver, and then they forget, till, like the ponds in nights of frost, when the sun shines by day, they are only thawed in time to be frozen again. That fatal to-morrow is blood-red with the murder of fair resolutions; it is the slaughter-house of the innocents. We are very concerned that our little book of “Evening Readings” should not be fruitless, and therefore we pray that readers may not be readers only, but doers, of the word. The practice of truth is the most profitable reading of it. Should the reader be impressed with any duty while perusing these pages, let him hasten to fulfil it before the holy glow has departed from his soul, and let him leave his nets, and all that he has, sooner than be found rebellious to the Master’s call. Do not give place to the devil by delay! Haste while opportunity and quickening are in happy conjunction. Do not be caught in your own nets, but break the meshes of worldliness, and away where glory calls you. Happy is the writer who shall meet with readers resolved to carry out his teachings: his harvest shall be a hundredfold, and his Master shall have great honour. Would to God that such might be our reward upon these brief meditations and hurried hints. Grant it, O Lord, unto thy servant!

“For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.” — Amos 9:9
Every sifting comes by divine command and permission. Satan must ask leave before he can lay a finger upon Job. Nay, more, in some sense our siftings are directly the work of heaven, for the text says, “I will sift the house of Israel.” Satan, like a drudge, may hold the sieve, hoping to destroy the corn; but the overruling hand of the Master is accomplishing the purity of the grain by the very process which the enemy intended to be destructive. Precious, but much sifted corn of the Lord’s floor, be comforted by…
the blessed fact that the Lord directeth both flail and sieve to
His own glory, and to thine eternal profit.
The Lord Jesus will surely use the fan which is in His hand, and will divide
the precious from the vile. All are not Israel that are of Israel; the heap on
the barn floor is not clean provender, and hence the winnowing process
must be performed. In the sieve true weight alone has power. Husks and
chaff being devoid of substance must fly before the wind, and only solid
corn will remain.
Observe the complete safety of the Lord’s wheat; even the least grain has a
promise of preservation. God Himself sifts, and therefore it is stern and
terrible work; He sifts them in all places, “among all nations”; He sifts
them in the most effectual manner, “like as corn is sifted in a sieve”; and
yet for all this, not the smallest, lightest, or most shrivelled grain, is
permitted to fall to the ground. Every individual believer is precious in the
sight of the Lord, a shepherd would not lose one sheep, nor a jeweller one
diamond, nor a mother one child, nor a man one limb of his body, nor will
the Lord lose one of His redeemed people. However little we may be, if we
are the Lord’s, we may rejoice that we are preserved in Christ Jesus.
