Psalms 147:12-20

New and increasing claims are upon Zion, for renewed instances of divine favor. And, Reader! this is your case, and mine. Every day, nay every moment, Jesus visits his people, Isaiah 27:3. And how are we secured like the bars of Zion's gates, in the arms of Jehovah! Deuteronomy 33:27; John 10:28. How are they blessed within, with the fine wheat of the bread of life, and the peace of God in Christ! John 6:51; Ephesians 1:7. How doth the Lord send forth his word to melt the soul; and cause the north wind, and the south wind to blow upon his garden! Luke 24:32; Song of Solomon 4:16; Titus 3:5. Surely every child of God can bear testimony to these things; and every child of God in the contemplation of discriminating grace will say, He hath not dealt so with any nation. Lord, how is it that thou hast manifested thyself to me and not unto the world? John 14:22. And, under a deep sense of these things, shall we not say, Hallelujah?
