(Scripture Psalm 139:17-24)
God's counsels concerning us and our welfare are deep, such
as cannot be known. We cannot think how many mercies we have received from him.
It would help to keep us in the fear of the Lord all the day long, if, when we
wake up in the morning, our first thoughts were of him: and how shall we admire
and bless our God for his precious salvation, when we awake in the world of
glory! Surely we ought not to use our members and senses, which are so
curiously fashioned, as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin.
But our immortal and rational souls are a still more noble
work and gift of God. Yet if it were not for his precious thoughts of love to
us, our reason and our living forever would, through our sins, prove the
occasion of our eternal misery. How should we then delight to meditate on God's
love to sinners in Jesus Christ, the sum of which exceeds all reckoning! Sin is
hated, and sinners lamented, by all who fear the Lord. Yet while we shun them
we should pray for them; with God their conversion and salvation are possible.
As the Lord knows us thoroughly, and we are strangers to ourselves, we should
earnestly desire and pray to be searched and proved by his word and Spirit.
God is interested in
the work you do:
“The word secular is not in the Bible. It all matters to God;
everything in your life is important to God”.
Bible
The compass of God’s Word will keep you from spiritual
shipwreck.
All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His
divine Book.
