REFLECTIONS

READER! have you been looking up to God in Christ while passing over the several portions of this hymn of praise? Was this indeed our David's Psalm of praise? And is it ours also? Oh! for grace to follow him, in the regeneration, and to look up to him as, God the Father's salvation to the ends of the earth! Yes! blessed Jesus! I would bless thee, I would adore thee, I would love thee! In thy obedience and death, I behold all the greatness, goodness, and glory of Jehovah manifested to poor sinners. Thou hath spoken of it, blessed Lord, in the days of thy flesh. I would be among the men that shall speak of thy mighty acts, now thou art in glory. I would tell every poor sinner, day by day, how gracious the Lord is! I would tell them that the Lord Jesus upholdeth them that fall; and raiseth up those that are bowed down. I would strive to encourage every poor broken-hearted sinner to make experiment of this mercy, by assuring them that the Lord is nigh unto all that call upon him; yea, unto all that call upon him in truth. I would again and again repeat the blessed subject of encouragement, and assure them that Jesus will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; he will hear their cry, and save them. Precious Lord! fill my soul with thyself; and let it be the one earnest desire of my heart, living and dying, and to all eternity, that my mouth shall speak the praises of the Lord, and bless thee now; and bless thee forever!
