“All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” —Romans 8:28 My soul! be still! you are in the hands of your Covenant God.

“I will ask the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever.”—John 14:16 Blessed Spirit of all grace! how often have I grieved You! resisted Your dealings, quenched Your strivings; and yet You are still pleading with me! Oh! let me realize more than I do the need […]
“The Lord will give grace and glory.” —Psalm 84:11 Oh! happy day, when this toilsome warfare will all be ended, Jordan crossed—Canaan entered—the multitude of enemies of the wilderness no longer dreaded—sorrow, sighing, death, and, worst of all, sin, no more either to be felt or feared! Here is the terminating link in the golden […]
“I have the keys of hell and of death.” —Revelation 1:18 And from whom could dying grace come so welcome, as from You, O blessed Jesus? Not only is Your name, “The Abolisher of Death;” but You Yourself have died! You have sanctified the grave by Your own presence, and divested it of all its […]

“The righteous shall hold on his way.” —Job 17:9 Reader! How comforting to you amid the ebbings and flowings of your changing history, to know that the change is all with you, and not with your God!

“I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again.” —Philippians 1:6 Reader! Is the good work begun in you? Are you holy? Is sin being crucified? Are your heart’s idols, one by one abolished? […]
“I will heal your backslidings.” —Hosea 14:4 Wandering again! And has He not left me to perish? Stumbling and straying on the dark mountains, away from the Shepherd’s eye and the Shepherd’s fold, shall He not leave the erring wanderer to the fruit of his own ways, and his truant heart to go hopelessly onward […]
“I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.” —John 14:18 Blessed Jesus! How Your presence sanctifies trial, takes loneliness from the chamber of sickness, and the sting from the chamber of death! Bright and Morning Star! precious at all times, You are never so precious as in “the dark and cloudy day!” […]
“As your days, so shall your strength be.” —Deuteronomy 33:25 God does not give grace until the hour of trial comes. But when it does come the amount of grace, and the nature of the special grace required is granted. My soul! do not dwell with painful apprehension on the future. Do not anticipate coming […]
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” —Isaiah 1:18 My soul! your God summons you to His audience chamber! Infinite purity seeks to reason with infinite vileness! Deity stoops […]
