“He will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when He shall hear it, He will answer thee.”– Isa_30:19. THIS IS one of the most exquisite chapters in Isaiah’s prophecy.

THE PROVIDENCE OF THE TRIFLE
“O Lord, the God of my Master Abraham, send me, I pray Thee, good speed this day.., thereby shall I know that Thou hast shewed kindness to my master.”— Gen_24:12-14. FROM THIS beautiful incident we can learn much of God’s guidance of the soul. Evidently Eliezer, the faithful servant, had absorbed something of his master’s […]
THE SOUL’S VENTURE
“And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark.”– Gen_8:1. IT IS very helpful to ponder these words, for it gives the assurance that not only will God take care of cattle, and birds, and every living thing, as we learn from Deu_25:4; Psa_104:11-22; Jon_4:11; […]
THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM
“I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.” — Mat_16:19. ALTHOUGH THESE words were spoken to the Apostle Peter, there is a profound sense in which every […]
GOD’S IN HIS HEAVEN
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork.”– Psa_19:1. GOD IN the Heavens (Psa_19:1-6). The Psalmist knew little or nothing of modern astronomical discovery, but his words can still be applied to the glorious march of suns and mighty planets toward their distant goal. Voices still speak to us from […]
THE SUPREME CHOICE
“And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere.., as the garden of the Lord. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan… and they separated themselves the one from the other.”– Gen_13:10-11. THE SOUL that has taken God as its portion can afford […]
THE PILGRIM OF THE UNSEEN
“The Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee …. And I will bless thee, and make thy name great.” Gen_12:1-2. THE CLUE to the beginning of this chapter is given in various parts of the Bible. From Act_7:2-5, […]
LIFE IS WORTH WHILE
“Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.”— Col_3:17. NOTHING IS more disastrous than aimless drift! God endows each soul for a distinct purpose. Probably in every life there is a lucid moment, when we take our bearings, and there flashes before us a glimpse of the […]
THE COMING KINGDOM
“Yet I have set My King upon my holy hill of Zion. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.”– Psa_2:6-12 (R.V. marg.). THE BASIS of this magnificent Psalm is the Reign of Christ. No king of David s line realized its sublime ideal, but the mind of the singer is borne forward to […]
NUMBERING OUR DAYS
“Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. O satisfy us early with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” Psa_90:12-14. THIS PSALM was evidently composed towards the end of the wilderness wanderings, and records some of the sadness which must have oppressed the […]
