“When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” — Psalm 56:9
It is impossible for any human speech to express the full meaning of this delightful phrase, “God is for me.” He was “for us” before the worlds were made; He was “for us,” or He would not have given His well-beloved son; He was “for us” when He smote the Only-begotten, and laid the full weight of His wrath upon Him — He was “for us,” though He was against Him; He was “for us,” when we were ruined in the fall — He loved us notwithstanding all; He was “for us,” when we were rebels against Him, and with a high hand were bidding Him defiance; He was “for us,” or He would not have brought us humbly to seek His face. He has been “for us” in many struggles; we have been summoned to encounter hosts of dangers; we have been assailed by…
temptations from without and within — how
could we have remained unharmed to this hour if He had not been “for
us”? He is “for us,” with all the infinity of His being; with all the
omnipotence of His love; with all the infallibility of His wisdom; arrayed
in all His divine attributes, He is “for us,” — eternally and immutably “for
us”; “for us” when yon blue skies shall be rolled up like a worn out
vesture; “for us” throughout eternity. And because He is “for us,” the
voice of prayer will always ensure His help. “When I cry unto Thee, then
shall mine enemies be turned back.” This is no uncertain hope, but a well
grounded assurance — “this I know.” I will direct my prayer unto Thee,
and will look up for the answer, assured that it will come, and that mine
enemies shall be defeated, “for God is for me.” O believer, how happy art
thou with the King of kings on thy side! How safe with such a Protector!
How sure thy cause pleaded by such an Advocate! If God be for thee, who
can be against thee?

“God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry?” — Jonah 4:9
Anger is not always or necessarily sinful, but it has such a tendency to run wild that whenever it displays itself, we should be quick to question its character, with this enquiry, “Doest thou well to be angry?” It may be that we can answer, “YES.” Very frequently anger is the madman’s firebrand, but sometimes it is Elijah’s fire from heaven. We do well when we are angry with sin, because of the wrong which it commits against our good and gracious God; or with ourselves because we remain so foolish after so much divine instruction; or with others when the sole cause of anger is the evil which they do. He who is not angry at transgression becomes a partaker in it. Sin is a loathsome and hateful thing, and no renewed heart can patiently endure it. God himself is angry with the wicked every day, and it is written in His Word, “Ye that love the Lord, hate evil.” Far more frequently it is to be…
feared that our anger in not commendable or even
justifiable, and then we must answer, “NO.” Why should we be fretful
with children, passionate with servants, and wrathful with companions? Is
such anger honourable to our Christian profession, or glorifying to God? Is
it not the old evil heart seeking to gain dominion, and should we not resist
it with all the might of our newborn nature. Many professors give way to
temper as though it were useless to attempt resistance; but let the believer
remember that he must be a conqueror in every point, or else he cannot be
crowned. If we cannot control our tempers, what has grace done for us?
Some one told Mr. Jay that grace was often grafted on a crab-stump.
“Yes,” said he, “but the fruit will not be crabs.” We must not make natural
infirmity an excuse for sin, but we must fly to the cross and pray the Lord
to crucify our tempers, and renew us in gentleness and meekness after His
own image.

“His heavenly kingdom.” — 2 Timothy 4:18
Yonder city of the great King is a place of active service. Ransomed spirits serve Him day and night in His temple. They never cease to fulfil the good pleasure of their King. They always “rest,” so far as ease and freedom from care is concerned; and never “rest,” in the sense of indolence or inactivity. Jerusalem the golden is the place of communion with all the people of God. We shall sit with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in eternal fellowship. We shall hold high converse with the noble host of the elect, all reigning with Him who by His love and His potent arm has brought them safely home. We shall not sing solos, but in chorus shall we praise our King. Heaven is a place of victory realized. Whenever, Christian, thou hast achieved a victory over thy…
lusts — whenever after hard struggling, thou
hast laid a temptation dead at thy feet — thou hast in that hour a foretaste
of the joy that awaits thee when the Lord shall shortly tread Satan under
thy feet, and thou shalt find thyself more than conqueror through Him
who hath loved thee. Paradise is a place of security. When you enjoy the
full assurance of faith, you have the pledge of that glorious security which
shall be yours when you are a perfect citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem. O
my sweet home, Jerusalem, thou happy harbour of my soul! Thanks, even
now, to Him whose love hath taught me to long for Thee; but louder
thanks in eternity, when I shall possess thee.
“My soul has tasted of the grapes,
And now it longs to go
Where my dear Lord His vineyard keeps
And all the clusters grow.
“Upon the true and living vine,
My famish’d soul would feast,
And banquet on the fruit divine,
An everlasting guest.”

“Sanctified by God the Father.” — Jude 1
“Sanctified in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Corinthians 1:2
“Through sanctification of the Spirit.” — 1 Peter 1:2
Mark the union of the Three Divine Persons in all their gracious acts. How unwisely do those believers talk who make preferences in the Persons of the Trinity; who think of Jesus as if He were the embodiment of everything lovely and gracious, while the Father they regard as severely just, but destitute of kindness. Equally wrong are those who magnify the decree of the Father, and the atonement of the Son, so as to depreciate the work of the Spirit. In deeds of grace none of the Persons of the Trinity act apart from the rest. They are as united in their deeds as in their essence. In their love towards the chosen they are one, and in the actions which flow from that great central source they are still undivided. Specially notice this in the matter of sanctification. While we may without mistake speak of…
sanctification as the work of the Spirit, yet we must take heed that we do
not view it as if the Father and the Son had no part therein. It is correct to
speak of sanctification as the work of the Father, of the Son, and of the
Spirit. Still doth Jehovah say, “Let us make man in our own image after
our likeness,” and thus we are “his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in
them.” See the value which God sets upon real holiness, since the Three
Persons in the Trinity are represented as co-working to produce a Church
without “spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.” And you, believer, as the
follower of Christ, must also set a high value on holiness — upon purity
of life and godliness of conversation. Value the blood of Christ as the
foundation of your hope, but never speak disparagingly of the work of the
Spirit which is your meetness for the inheritance of the saints in light. This
day let us so live as to manifest the work of the Triune God in us.

“Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.” — Joel 1:3
In this simple way, by God’s grace, a living testimony for truth is always to be kept alive in the land — the beloved of the Lord are to hand down their witness for the gospel, and the covenant to their heirs, and these again to their next descendants. This is our first duty, we are to begin at the family hearth: he is a bad preacher who does not commence his ministry at home. The heathen are to be sought by all means, and the highways and hedges are to be searched, but home has a prior claim, and woe unto those who reverse the order of the Lord’s arrangements. To teach our children is a personal duty; we cannot delegate it to Sunday School Teachers, or other friendly aids, these can assist us, but cannot deliver us from the…
sacred
obligation; proxies and sponsors are wicked devices in this case: mothers
and fathers must, like Abraham, command their households in the fear of
God, and talk with their offspring concerning the wondrous works of the
Most High. Parental teaching is a natural duty — who so fit to look to the
child’s well-being as those who are the authors of his actual being? To
neglect the instruction of our offspring is worse than brutish. Family
religion is necessary for the nation, for the family itself, and for the church
of God. By a thousand plots Popery is covertly advancing in our land, and
one of the most effectual means for resisting its inroads is left almost
neglected, namely, the instruction of children in the faith. Would that
parents would awaken to a sense of the importance of this matter. It is a
pleasant duty to talk of Jesus to our sons and daughters, and the more so
because it has often proved to be an accepted work, for God has saved the
children through the parents’ prayers and admonitions. May every house
into which this volume shall come honour the Lord and receive His smile.

“After that ye have suffered awhile, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” — 1 Peter 5:10
You have seen the arch of heaven as it spans the plain: glorious are its colours, and rare its hues. It is beautiful, but, alas, it passes away, and lo, it is not. The fair colours give way to the fleecy clouds, and the sky is no longer brilliant with the tints of heaven. It is not established. How can it be? A glorious show made up of transitory sun-beams and passing rain-drops, how can it abide? The graces of the Christian character must not resemble the rainbow in its transitory beauty, but, on the contrary, must be stablished, settled, abiding. Seek, O believer, that every good thing you have may be an abiding thing. May your character not be a writing upon the sand, but an inscription upon the rock! May your faith be no “baseless fabric of a vision,” but may it be builded of material able to endure that…
awful fire which shall consume the wood, hay, and stubble of
the hypocrite. May you be rooted and grounded in love. May your
convictions be deep, your love real, your desires earnest. May your whole
life be so settled and established, that all the blasts of hell, and all the
storms of earth shall never be able to remove you. But notice how this
blessing of being “stablished in the faith” is gained. The apostle’s words
point us to suffering as the means employed — “After that ye have
suffered awhile.” It is of no use to hope that we shall be well rooted if no
rough winds pass over us. Those old gnarlings on the root of the oak tree,
and those strange twistings of the branches, all tell of the many storms that
have swept over it, and they are also indicators of the depth into which the
roots have forced their way. So the Christian is made strong, and firmly
rooted by all the trials and storms of life. Shrink not then from the
tempestuous winds of trial, but take comfort, believing that by their rough
discipline God is fulfilling this benediction to you.

“And the evening and the morning were the first day.” — Genesis 1:5
The evening was “darkness” and the morning was “light,” and yet the two together are called by the name that is given to the light alone! This is somewhat remarkable, but it has an exact analogy in spiritual experience. In every believer there is darkness and light, and yet he is not to be named a sinner because there is sin in him, but he is to be named a saint because he possesses some degree of holiness. This will be a most comforting thought to those who are mourning their infirmities, and who ask, “Can I be a child of God while there is so much darkness in me?” Yes; for you, like the day, take not your name from the evening, but from the morning; and you are spoken of in the word of God as if you were even now perfectly holy as you will be soon. You are called the…
child of light, though there is darkness
in you still. You are named after what is the predominating quality in the
sight of God, which will one day be the only principle remaining. Observe
that the evening comes first. Naturally we are darkness first in order of
time, and the gloom is often first in our mournful apprehension, driving us
to cry out in deep humiliation, “God be merciful to me, a sinner.” The
place of the morning is second, it dawns when grace overcomes nature. It is
a blessed aphorism of John Bunyan, “That which is last, lasts for ever.”
That which is first, yields in due season to the last; but nothing comes
after the last. So that though you are naturally darkness, when once you
become light in the Lord, there is no evening to follow; “thy sun shall no
more go down.” The first day in this life is an evening and a morning; but
the second day, when we shall be with God, for ever, shall be a day with
no evening, but one, sacred, high, eternal noon.

“Fellow citizens with the saints.” — Ephesians 2:19
What is meant by our being citizens in heaven? It means that we are under heaven’s government. Christ the king of heaven reigns in our hearts; our daily prayer is, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” The proclamations issued from the throne of glory are freely received by us: the decrees of the Great King we cheerfully obey. Then as citizens of the New Jerusalem, we share heaven’s honours. The glory which belongs to beatified saints belongs to us, for we are already sons of God, already princes of the blood imperial; already we wear the spotless robe of Jesu’s righteousness; already we have angels for our servitors, saints for our companions, Christ for our Brother, God for our Father, and a crown of immortality for our reward. We share the…
honours of citizenship, for we
have come to the general assembly and Church of the first-born whose
names are written in heaven. As citizens, we have common rights to all the
property of heaven. Ours are its gates of pearl and walls of chrysolite; ours
the azure light of the city that needs no candle nor light of the sun; ours the
river of the water of life, and the twelve manner of fruits which grow on
the trees planted on the banks thereof; there is nought in heaven that
belongeth not to us. “Things present, or things to come,” all are ours. Also
as citizens of heaven we enjoy its delights. Do they there rejoice over
sinners that repent — prodigals that have returned? So do we. Do they
chant the glories of triumphant grace? We do the same. Do they cast their
crowns at Jesu’s feet? Such honours as we have we cast there too. Are
they charmed with His smile? It is not less sweet to us who dwell below.
Do they look forward, waiting for His second advent? We also look and
long for His appearing. If, then, we are thus citizens of heaven, let our walk
and actions be consistent with our high dignity.

“And God divided the light from the darkness.” — Genesis 1:4
A believer has two principles at work within him. In his natural estate he was subject to one principle only, which was darkness; now light has entered, and the two principles disagree. Mark the apostle Paul’s words in the seventh chapter of Romans: “I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin, which is in my members.” How is this state of things occasioned? “The Lord divided the light from the darkness.” Darkness, by itself, is quiet and undisturbed, but when the Lord sends in light, there is a conflict, for the one is in opposition to the other: a conflict which will never cease till…
the believer is
altogether light in the Lord. If there be a division within the individual
Christian, there is certain to be a division without. So soon as the Lord
gives to any man light, he proceeds to separate himself from the darkness
around; he secedes from a merely worldly religion of outward ceremonial,
for nothing short of the gospel of Christ will now satisfy him, and he
withdraws himself from worldly society and frivolous amusements, and
seeks the company of the saints, for “We know we have passed from
death unto life, because we love the brethren.” The light gathers to itself,
and the darkness to itself. What God has divided, let us never try to unite,
but as Christ went without the camp, bearing His reproach, so let us come
out from the ungodly, and be a peculiar people. He was holy, harmless,
undefiled, separate from sinners; and, as He was, so we are to be
nonconformists to the world, dissenting from all sin, and distinguished
from the rest of mankind by our likeness to our Master.

“Forget not all His benefits.” — Psalm 103:2
It is a delightful and profitable occupation to mark the hand of God in the lives of ancient saints, and to observe His goodness in delivering them, His mercy in pardoning them, and His faithfulness in keeping His covenant with them. But would it not be even more interesting and profitable for us to remark the hand of God in our own lives? Ought we not to look upon our own history as being at least as full of God, as full of His goodness and of His truth, as much a proof of His faithfulness and veracity, as the lives of any of the saints who have gone before? We do our Lord an injustice when we suppose that He wrought all His mighty acts, and showed Himself strong for those in the early time, but doth not perform wonders or lay bare His arm for the saints who are now upon the earth. Let us review our own lives. Surely in these we may…
discover some happy
incidents, refreshing to ourselves and glorifying to our God. Have you had
no deliverances? Have you passed through no rivers, supported by the
divine presence? Have you walked through no fires unharmed? Have you
had no manifestations? Have you had no choice favours? The God who
gave Solomon the desire of his heart, hath He never listened to you and
answered your requests? That God of lavish bounty of whom David sang,
“Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things,” hath He never satiated you
with fatness? Have you never been made to lie down in green pastures?
Have you never been led by the still waters? Surely the goodness of God
has been the same to us as to the saints of old. Let us, then, weave His
mercies into a song. Let us take the pure gold of thankfulness, and the
jewels of praise and make them into another crown for the head of Jesus.
Let our souls give forth music as sweet and as exhilarating as came from
David’s harp, while we praise the Lord whose mercy endureth for ever.
