“Renew a right spirit within me.” — Psalm 51:10
A backslider, if there be a spark of life left in him will groan after restoration. In this renewal the same exercise of grace is required as at our conversion. We needed repentance then; we certainly need it now. We wanted faith that we might come to Christ at first; only the like grace can bring us to Jesus now. We wanted a word from the Most High, a word from the lip of the loving One, to end our fears then; we shall soon discover, when under a sense of present sin, that we need it now. No man can be renewed without as real and true a manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s energy as he felt at first, because the work is as great, and flesh and blood are as much in the way now as ever they were. Let thy personal weakness, O Christian, be…
an argument to make thee pray earnestly to thy
God for help. Remember, David when he felt himself to be powerless, did
not fold his arms or close his lips, but he hastened to the mercy-seat with
“renew a right spirit within me.” Let not the doctrine that you, unaided,
can do nothing, make you sleep; but let it be a goad in your side to drive
you with an awful earnestness to Israel’s strong Helper. O that you may
have grace to plead with God, as though you pleaded for your very life —
“Lord, renew a right spirit within me.” He who sincerely prays to God to
do this, will prove his honesty by using the means through which God
works. Be much in prayer; live much upon the Word of God; kill the lusts
which have driven your Lord from you; be careful to watch over the future
uprisings of sin. The Lord has His own appointed ways; sit by the
wayside and you will be ready when He passes by. Continue in all those
blessed ordinances which will foster and nourish your dying graces; and,
knowing that all the power must proceed from Him, cease not to cry,
“Renew a right spirit within me.”

“Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to Thy voice: cause me to hear it.” — Song of Solomon 8:13
My sweet Lord Jesus remembers well the garden of Gethsemane, and although He has left that garden, He now dwells in the garden of His church: there He unbosoms Himself to those who keep His blessed company. That voice of love with which He speaks to His beloved is more musical than the harps of heaven. There is a depth of melodious love within it which leaves all human music far behind. Ten of thousands on earth, and millions above, are indulged with its harmonious accents. Some whom I well know, and whom I greatly envy, are at this moment hearkening to the beloved voice. O that I were a partaker of their joys! It is true some of…
these are poor, others bedridden, and some near the gates of
death, but O my Lord, I would cheerfully starve with them, pine with
them, or die with them, if I might but hear Thy voice. Once I did hear it
often, but I have grieved Thy Spirit. Return unto me in compassion, and
once again say unto me, “I am thy salvation.” No other voice can content
me; I know Thy voice, and cannot be deceived by another, let me hear it, I
pray thee. I know not what Thou wilt say, neither do I make any
condition, O my Beloved, do but let me hear Thee speak, and if it be a
rebuke I will bless Thee for it. Perhaps to cleanse my dull ear may need an
operation very grievous to the flesh, but let it cost what it may I turn not
from the one consuming desire, cause me to hear Thy voice. Bore my ear
afresh; pierce my ear with Thy harshest notes, only do not permit me to
continue deaf to Thy calls. To-night, Lord, grant Thine unworthy one his
desire, for I am Thine, and Thou hast bought me with Thy blood. Thou
hast opened mine eye to see Thee, and the sight has saved me. Lord, open
Thou mine ear. I have read Thy heart, now let me hear Thy lips.

“I will praise Thee, O Lord.” — Psalm 9:1
Praise should always follow answered prayer; as the mist of earth’s gratitude rises when the sun of heaven’s love warms the ground. Hath the Lord been gracious to thee, and inclined His ear to the voice of thy supplication? Then praise Him as long as thou livest. Let the ripe fruit drop upon the fertile soil from which it drew its life. Deny not a song to Him who hath answered thy prayer and given thee the desire of thy heart. To be silent over God’s mercies is to incur the guilt of ingratitude; it is to act as basely as the nine lepers, who after they had been cured of their leprosy, returned not to give thanks unto the healing Lord. To forget to praise God is to refuse to benefit ourselves; for praise, like prayer, is one great means of promoting the growth of the spiritual life. It helps to…
remove our burdens, to excite our hope, to increase our faith. It is a
healthful and invigorating exercise which quickens the pulse of the believer,
and nerves him for fresh enterprises in his Master’s service. To bless God
for mercies received is also the way to benefit our fellow-men; “the humble
shall hear thereof and be glad.” Others who have been in like circumstances
shall take comfort if we can say, “Oh! magnify the Lord with me, and let
us exalt His name together; this poor man cried, and the Lord heard him.”
Weak hearts will be strengthened, and drooping saints will be revived as
they listen to our “songs of deliverance.” Their doubts and fears will be
rebuked, as we teach and admonish one another in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs. They too shall “sing in the ways of the Lord,” when they
hear us magnify His holy name. Praise is the most heavenly of Christian
duties. The angels pray not, but they cease not to praise both day and
night; and the redeemed, clothed in white robes, with palm-branches in
their hands, are never weary of singing the new song, “Worthy is the
Lamb.”

“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, etc.” — Matthew 6:9
This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, “Our Father.” There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, “I will arise, and go unto my Father.” This child-like spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father “in heaven,” and ascends to devout adoration, “Hallowed be Thy name.” The child lisping, “Abba, Father,” grows into the cherub crying, “Holy, Holy, Holy.” There is but a step from rapturous worship to the glowing missionary spirit, which is a sure outgrowth of filial love and reverent adoration — “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Next follows the…
heartfelt expression of
dependence upon God — “Give us this day our daily bread.” Being further
illuminated by the Spirit, he discovers that he is not only dependent, but
sinful, hence he entreats for mercy, “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our
debtors:” and being pardoned, having the righteousness of Christ imputed,
and knowing his acceptance with God, he humbly supplicates for holy
perseverance, “Lead us not into temptation.” The man who is really
forgiven, is anxious not to offend again; the possession of justification
leads to an anxious desire for sanctification. “Forgive us our debts,” that is
justification; “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,” that
is sanctification in its negative and positive forms. As the result of all this,
there follows a triumphant ascription of praise, “Thine is the kingdom, the
power, and the glory, for ever and ever, Amen.” We rejoice that our King
reigns in providence and shall reign in grace, from the river even to the ends
of the earth, and of His dominion there shall be no end. Thus from a sense
of adoption, up to fellowship with our reigning Lord, this short model of
prayer conducts the soul. Lord, teach us thus to pray.

“His head is as the most fine gold, His locks are bushy, and black as a raven.” — Song of Solomon 5:11
Comparisons all fail to set forth the Lord Jesus, but the spouse uses the best within her reach. By the head of Jesus we may understand His deity, “for the head of Christ is God” and then the ingot of purest gold is the best conceivable metaphor, but all too poor to describe one so precious, so pure, so dear, so glorious. Jesus is not a grain of gold, but a vast globe of it, a priceless mass of treasure such as earth and heaven cannot excel. The creatures are mere iron and clay, they all shall perish like wood, hay, and stubble, but the everliving Head of the creation of God shall shine on for ever and ever. In Him is no mixture, nor smallest taint of alloy. He is for ever infinitely holy and altogether divine. The bushy locks depict His manly vigour. There is nothing effeminate in…
our Beloved. He is the
manliest of men. Bold as a lion, laborious as an ox, swift as an eagle. Every
conceivable and inconceivable beauty is to be found in Him, though once
He was despised and rejected of men.
“His head the finest gold;
With secret sweet perfume,
His curled locks hang all as black
As any raven’s plume.”
The glory of His head is not shorn away, He is eternally crowned with
peerless majesty. The black hair indicates youthful freshness, for Jesus
has the dew of His youth upon Him. Others grow languid with age, but He
is for ever a Priest as was Melchisedek; others come and go, but He abides
as God upon His throne, world without end. We will behold Him to-night
and adore Him. Angels are gazing upon Him — His redeemed must not
turn away their eyes from Him. Where else is there such a Beloved? O for
an hour’s fellowship with Him! Away, ye intruding cares! Jesus draws
me, and I run after Him.

“I have chosen you out of the world.” — John 15:19
Here is distinguishing grace and discriminating regard; for some are made the special objects of divine affection. Do not be afraid to dwell upon this high doctrine of election. When your mind is most heavy and depressed, you will find it to be a bottle of richest cordial. Those who doubt the doctrines of grace, or who cast them into the shade, miss the richest clusters of Eshcol; they lose the wines on the lees well refined, the fat things full of marrow. There is no balm in Gilead comparable to it. If the honey in Jonathan’s wood when but touched enlightened the eyes, this is honey which will enlighten your heart to love and learn the mysteries of the kingdom of God. Eat, and fear not a surfeit; live upon this choice dainty, and fear not that it will be too delicate a diet. Meat from the King’s table will hurt none of His courtiers. Desire to have your…
mind enlarged,
that you may comprehend more and more the eternal, everlasting,
discriminating love of God. When you have mounted as high as election,
tarry on its sister mount, the covenant of grace. Covenant engagements are
the munitions of stupendous rock behind which we lie entrenched;
covenant engagements with the surety, Christ Jesus, are the quiet
resting-places of trembling spirits.
“His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the raging flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
This still is all my strength and stay.”
If Jesus undertook to bring me to glory, and if the Father promised that He
would give me to the Son to be a part of the infinite reward of the travail of
His soul; then, my soul, till God Himself shall be unfaithful, till Jesus shall
cease to be the truth, thou art safe. When David danced before the ark, he
told Michal that election made him do so. Come, my soul, exult before the
God of grace and leap for joy of heart.

“It is a faithful saying.” — 2 Timothy 2:11
Paul has four of these “faithful sayings.” The first occurs in 1 Timothy 1:15, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” The next is in 1 Timothy 4:6, “Godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation.” The third is in 2 Timothy 2:12, “It is a faithful saying — If we suffer with Him we shall also reign with Him”; and the fourth is in Titus 3:3, “This is a faithful saying, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.” We may trace a connection between these faithful sayings. The first one lays the foundation of our eternal salvation in the free grace of God, as shown to us in the mission of the great Redeemer. The next affirms the…
double blessedness which we
obtain through this salvation — the blessings of the upper and nether
springs — of time and of eternity. The third shows one of the duties to
which the chosen people are called; we are ordained to suffer for Christ
with the promise that “if we suffer, we shall also reign with Him.” The last
sets forth the active form of Christian service, bidding us diligently to
maintain good works. Thus we have the root of salvation in free grace;
next, the privileges of that salvation in the life which now is, and in that
which is to come; and we have also the two great branches of suffering
with Christ and serving with Christ, loaded with the fruits of the Spirit.
Treasure up these faithful sayings. Let them be the guides of our life, our
comfort, and our instruction. The apostle of the Gentiles proved them to
be faithful, they are faithful still, not one word shall fall to the ground;
they are worthy of all acceptation, let us accept them now, and prove their
faithfulness. Let these four faithful sayings be written on the four corners
of My house.

“All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.” — Ecclesiastes 1:7
Everything sublunary is on the move, time knows nothing of rest. The solid earth is a rolling ball, and the great sun himself a star obediently fulfilling its course around some greater luminary. Tides move the sea, winds l stir the airy ocean, friction wears the rock: change and death rule everywhere. The sea is not a miser’s storehouse for a wealth of waters, for as by one force the waters flow into it, by another they are lifted from it. Men are born but to die: everything is hurry, worry, and vexation of spirit. Friend of the unchanging Jesus, what a joy it is to reflect upon thy changeless heritage; thy sea of bliss which will be for ever full, since God Himself shall pour eternal rivers of pleasure into it. We seek an…
abiding city beyond the skies, and we shall not be disappointed. The passage before us may well teach us gratitude. Father Ocean is a great receiver, but he is a generous distributor. What the rivers bring him he returns to the earth in the form of clouds and rain. That man is out of joint with the universe who takes all but makes no return. To give to others is but sowing seed for ourselves. He who is so good a steward as to be willing to use his substance for his Lord, shall be entrusted with more. Friend of Jesus, art thou rendering to Him according to the benefit received? Much has been given thee, what is thy fruit? Hast thou done all? Canst thou not do more? To be selfish is to be wicked. Suppose the ocean gave up none of its watery treasure, it would bring ruin upon our race. God forbid that any of us should follow the ungenerous and destructive policy of living unto ourselves. Jesus pleased not Himself. All fulness dwells in Him, but of His fulness have all we received. O for Jesu’s spirit, that henceforth we may live not unto ourselves!

“Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.” — Haggai 1:9
Churlish souls stint their contributions to the ministry and missionary operations, and call such saving good economy; little do they dream that they are thus impoverishing themselves. Their excuse is that they must care for their own families, and they forget that to neglect the house of God is the sure way to bring ruin upon their own houses. Our God has a method in providence by which He can succeed our endeavours beyond our expectation, or can defeat our plans to our confusion and dismay; by a turn of His hand He can steer our vessel in a profitable channel, or run it aground in poverty and bankruptcy. It is the teaching of Scripture that the Lord enriches the liberal and leaves the miserly to find out that withholding tendeth to poverty. In a very wide sphere of observation, I have noticed that…
the most generous Christians of my acquaintance have been always
the most happy, and almost invariably the most prosperous. I have seen
the liberal giver rise to wealth of which he never dreamed; and I have as
often seen the mean, ungenerous churl descend to poverty by the very
parsimony by which he thought to rise. Men trust good stewards with
larger and larger sums, and so it frequently is with the Lord; He gives by
cartloads to those who give by bushels. Where wealth is not bestowed the
Lord makes the little much by the contentment which the sanctified heart
feels in a portion of which the tithe has been dedicated to the Lord.
Selfishness looks first at home, but godliness seeks first the kingdom of
God and His righteousness, yet in the long run selfishness is loss, and
godliness is great gain. It needs faith to act towards our God with an open
hand, but surely He deserves it of us; and all that we can do is a very poor
acknowledgment of our amazing indebtedness to His goodness.

“She gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.” — Ruth 2:3
Her hap was. Yes, it seemed nothing but an accident, but how divinely was it overruled! Ruth had gone forth with her mother’s blessing, under the care of her mother’s God, to humble but honourable toil, and the providence of God was guiding her every step. Little did she know that amid the sheaves she would find a husband, that he should make her the joint owner of all those broad acres, and that she a poor foreigner should become one of the progenitors of the great Messiah. God is very good to those who trust in Him, and often surprises them with unlooked for blessings. Little do we know what may happen to us to-morrow, but this sweet fact may cheer us, that no good thing shall be withheld. Chance is banished from the faith of Christians, for they see the…
hand of God in
everything. The trivial events of to-day or to-morrow may involve
consequences of the highest importance. O Lord, deal as graciously with
Thy servants as Thou didst with Ruth.
How blessed would it be, if, in wandering in the field of meditation
to-night, our hap should be to light upon the place where our next
Kinsman will reveal Himself to us! O Spirit of God, guide us to Him. We
would sooner glean in His field than bear away the whole harvest from any
other. O for the footsteps of His flock, which may conduct us to the green
pastures where He dwells! This is a weary world when Jesus is away —
we could better do without sun and moon that without Him — but how
divinely fair all things become in the glory of His presence! Our souls
know the virtue which dwells in Jesus, and can never be content without
Him. We will wait in prayer this night until our hap shall be to light on a
part of the field belonging to Jesus wherein He will manifest Himself to us.
