“Have faith in God.” Mark 11:22Faith is the foot of the soul by which it can march along the road of the commandments. Love can make the feet move more swiftly; but faith is the foot which carries the soul. Faith is the oil enabling the wheels of holy devotion and of earnest piety to move well; and

“Before destruction the heart of man is haughty.” Proverbs 18:12It is an old and common saying, that “coming events cast their shadows before them;” the wise man teaches us that a haughty heart is the prophetic prelude of evil. Pride is as safely the sign of destruction as the change of mercury in t

“Ye must be born again.” John 3:7Regeneration is a subject which lies at the very basis of salvation, and we should be very diligent to take heed that we really are “born again,” for there are many who fancy they are, who are not. Be assured that the name of a Christian is not the nature of a Christ

“Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.” Psalm 35:3What does this sweet prayer teach me? It shall be my evening’s petition; but first let it yield me an instructive meditation. The text informs me first of all that David had his doubts; for why should he pray, “Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation,”

“Let us not sleep, as do others.” 1 Thessalonians 5:6There are many ways of promoting Christian wakefulness. Among the rest, let me strongly advise Christians to converse together concerning the ways of the Lord. Christian and Hopeful, as they journeyed towards the Celestial City, said to themselves

“They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house.” Psalm 36:8Sheba’s queen was amazed at the sumptuousness of Solomon’s table.

“My grace is sufficient for thee.” 2 Corinthians 12:9If none of God’s saints were poor and tried, we should not know half so well the consolations of divine grace. When we find the wanderer who has not where to lay his head, who yet can say, “Still will I trust in the Lord;” when we see the pauper s

“He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove.” Matthew 3:16As the Spirit of God descended upon the Lord Jesus, the head, so he also, in measure, descends upon the members of the mystical body. His descent is to us after the same fashion as that in which it fell upon our Lord. There is often a si

“I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.” Isaiah 48:10Comfort thyself, tried believer, with this thought: God saith, “I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.” Does not the word come like a soft shower, assuaging the fury of the flame? Yea, is it not an asbestos armour, against whic

“Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.” Ephesians 3:8The apostle Paul felt it a great privilege to be allowed to preach the gospel.

“But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.” 1 Samuel 13:20We are engaged in a great war with the Philistines of evil.

“He is precious.” 1 Peter 2:7As all the rivers run into the sea, so all delights centre in our Beloved. The glances of his eyes outshine the sun: the beauties of his face are fairer than the choicest flowers: no fragrance is like the breath of his mouth. Gems of the mine, and pearls from the sea, ar

“Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out.” Song of Solomon 4:16Anything is better than the dead calm of indifference.

“With lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” Jeremiah 31:3The thunders of the law and the terrors of judgment are all used to bring us to Christ; but the final victory is effected by lovingkindness.
