“Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out.” -Song of Songs 4:16 Anything is better than the dead calm of indifference. Our souls may wisely desire the north wind of trouble if that alone can be sanctified to the drawing forth of the perfume […]

“My expectation is from him.” -Psalm 62:5 It is the believer’s privilege to use this language. If he is looking for aught from the world, it is a poor “expectation” indeed.

“Thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation.” -Psalm 91:9 The Israelites in the wilderness were continually exposed to change.

“The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power.” -Nahum 1:3 Jehovah “is slow to anger.” When mercy cometh into the world she driveth winged steeds; the axles of her chariot-wheels are red hot with speed; but when wrath goeth forth, it toileth on with tardy footsteps, for God taketh no pleasure in the […]

“His bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob.” -Genesis 49:24 That strength which God gives to his Josephs is real strength; it is not a boasted valour, a fiction, a thing of which men talk, but which ends in smoke; […]

“Understandest thou what thou readest?” -Acts 8:30 We should be abler teachers of others, and less liable to be carried about by every wind of doctrine, if we sought to have a more intelligent understanding of the Word of God.
