___________________________________________ A race to the sepulcher!
(Thomas Sherman, "Divine Breathings; Or, a Pious Soul Thirsting after Christ")
"What is your life? You are a vapor that appears for a little while--and then vanishes!" James 4:14
To speak the truth, our life is but a lingering death!
The poet being asked what he did; answered insightfully, "I am dying, little by little!"
We do but begin to live indeed--when we begin to live to God; our life before, is but a race to the sepulcher! But when we live to God--then we are on our way to eternity!
Our life contains a thousand springs,
And dies, if one goes wrong!
Strange! that a harp of a thousand strings,
Should keep in tune, so long!

___________________________________________ Your good things are all yet to come!
(J.C. Ryle)
"Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God!" Hebrews 12:1-2
We must run with perseverance--or we shall never obtain. There may be many things we cannot understand, much that the flesh could perhaps wish otherwise--but let us endure unto the end, and all shall be made clear, and God's arrangements shall be proved best. Think not to have your reward on earth--do not draw back, because your good things are all yet to come.
Today is the cross--but tomorrow is the crown.
Today is the labor--but tomorrow are the wages.
Today is the sowing--but tomorrow is the harvest.
Today is the battle--but tomorrow is the rest.
Today is the weeping--but tomorrow is the joy.
And what is today, when compared to tomorrow?
Today is but seventy years--but tomorrow is eternity!

___________________________________________ You do not know what a day may bring forth!
(James Smith, "Ignorance of the Future" 1856)
"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth!" Proverbs 27:1
We are totally ignorant of the future!
It may be prosperous--or it may be adverse.
We may suffer much from sickness--or we may enjoy sound health.
We may meet with accidents--or we may be graciously preserved from them.
We may be losers by calamity or wicked men--or God may set a hedge about us, as He did about Job.
We may be bereaved of our children, other near relatives or dear friends--or we may be summoned by death to appear before God ourselves!
We do not know what our lot may be in future. We are profoundly ignorant of it. But all is arranged--and arranged by our good, gracious, and infinitely wise God. Nothing is left to 'chance'.
Whatever may happen in the future, into whatever circumstances we may be brought--we should exercise confidence in God, hope still in His mercy, and plead earnestly at His throne of grace, believing that He has . . .
ordered all things in His love,
arranged all in His infinite wisdom, and
will overrule all for our ultimate good!

___________________________________________ Oh, you who want unfailing comfort
(J.C. Ryle)
"Yes, He is altogether lovely! This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend!" Song of Songs 5:16
Oh, you who want unfailing comfort--I commend you to Christ! In Him alone, there is no failure.
Rich men are disappointed in their treasures.
Learned men are disappointed in their books.
Husbands are disappointed in their wives.
Wives are disappointed in their husbands.
Parents are disappointed in their children.
Statesmen are disappointed when, after many a struggle, they attain place and power. They find out, to their cost, that it is more pain than pleasure--that it is disappointment, annoyance, incessant trouble, worry, vanity, and frustration of spirit.
But no one was ever disappointed in Christ!

___________________________________________ It is mercy that he is out of Hell!
(Thomas Watson, "The Art of Divine Contentment")
"I know what it is to be in need--and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation--whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in need." Philippians 4:12
The humble man is the contented man; if his estate is low, his heart is lower than his estate, therefore he is content. If his esteem in the world is low--he who is little in his own eyes will not be much troubled to be little in the eyes of others. He has a lower opinion of himself, than others can have of him.
The humble man studies his own unworthiness. He cries out with Paul, that he is the chief of sinners, therefore does not murmur--but admire.
A little will content him! He does not complain that his comforts are small. He thinks it is mercy that he is out of Hell, therefore he is contented. He knows that the worst piece which God carves out for him here on earth--is better than he deserves.
A proud man is never contented--he has a high opinion of himself. Therefore under small blessings, he is disdainful; and under small crosses, he is impatient.
The humble man is the contented man; if his cross is light--he reckons it the inventory of his mercies; if his cross is heavy--yet he takes it up in humble submission. Where humility is laid for the foundation, contentment will be the superstructure. PUBLIC DOMAIN - Permission is not required to reproduce this material. Feel free to forward this on to your friends.

___________________________________________ They love it!
(William S. Plumer, "Sinners Saved by Unmerited Kindness")
"Man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks up evil like water!" Job 15:16
The unconverted live in sin--they sin all the time. It is their trade--they work hard at it. They love it, and are greedy for iniquity. They "dig up evil." They "fill up their sin ALWAYS." They "ALWAYS resist the Holy Spirit." Never for an hour, do they love God supremely. Unregenerate men sin always--they do nothing but sin against God!
All the unconverted do nothing but sin. If for a while they seem to reform--they soon return to their wickedness, as the dog to his vomit; or the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
Neither mercies,
nor judgments,
nor promises,
nor threatenings,
nor hopes,
nor fears
--without the grace of Christ--will or can ever cure the love of sin, or arrest the practice of sin.

___________________________________________ Bruised reeds!
(Horatius Bonar)
"He will not break a bruised reed, and He will not put out a smoldering wick" Matthew 12:20
We have but one life, and it must be lived for God. But we need preparation for usefulness. We need a thorough breaking down, a thorough emptying, a thorough bruising. God cannot trust us with success, until we are thus laid low. We are not fit to receive it; nor would He get the glory. Therefore He sends sore and heavy trials in order to make us vessels fit for the Master's use.
Oftentimes we see that the heaviest trials, are forerunners of our greatest usefulness. When we are entirely prostrated and crushed--then it is safe for God to grant us success, for then He gets all the glory.
And oh, what wonders has God often done by bruised reeds! Yes, it is the bruised reed which is most often the instrument in His hand for working His mighty signs and wonders.
What consolation is this! Suffering is stripped of half its bitterness, if it thus brings with it a double portion of the Spirit, and fits for double usefulness on earth. PUBLIC DOMAIN - Permission is not required to reproduce this material. Feel free to forward this on to your friends.

___________________________________________ Shall we complain? Shall we repine? Shall we murmur?
(James Smith, "To the Bereaved" 1856)
"The Lord gave--and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord!" Job 1:21
So spoke the patriarch Job, when stripped of all his property and bereaved of all his children in one day. Reduced at once from affluence--to poverty; from the highest elevation--to the lowest point of human suffering--he exclaimed, "Blessed be the name of the Lord!"
Such language befits us; for all that we have is from the goodness of God; it is from His free favor--and not because we have a right to it. All claim upon God was forfeited by sin; therefore all that we receive, is a proof of His kindness. All we that have--He gave to us; or rather, lent to us. And whatever He has lent to us--He may recall--may recall at any time, and in any way which pleases Him. There is nothing upon which we can lay our hand and say, "This is absolutely mine!" All is lent to us by a gracious God--lent us to enjoy, improve, and return to its proper Owner.
Shall we complain? Shall we repine? Shall we murmur if God takes from us any one thing which He has lent to us, especially when He leaves us with so much?

___________________________________________ Astonished, bewildered, and overpowered!
(Octavius Winslow, "From Grace to Glory" 1864)
The unregenerate man does not worship the God of the Bible. Worshiping a god of his own imagination, he rears his altar to "THE UNKNOWN GOD." Divesting the God of Scripture of His divine perfections . . .
His holiness,
His justice,
His truth,
His power
His wrath--
he completely undeifies Him, robbing Him of His glory.
But when he is born again, lo! the God of the Bible bursts upon his new-found vision and his wondering gaze, as a 'newly revealed God'.
Clothed with new attributes,
arrayed with new perfections,
bathed with new glory,
standing in a new relation--
the new creature falls down at His feet in adoring admiration and love, exclaiming, "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees You! Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes!" Never did . . .
the being of God, appear so true,
the perfections of God, appear so glorious,
the character of God, appear so great,
the government of God, appear so holy,
the relation of God, appear so endearing--as now!
Born into a new world, the GOD of the new creation unveils to the eye as infinitely, ineffably lovely!
Like a being born and grown up in a dark mine, and brought to the earth's surface to gaze upon the sun in its noontide effulgence--the new created soul is astonished, bewildered, and overpowered by the splendor, glory, and greatness of the being, character, and perfections of Jehovah!
