"The Lord mighty in battle."

"The Lord mighty in battle."

—Psalm 24:8.

WELL may our God be glorious in the eyes of His people, seeing that He has wrought such wonders for them, in them, and by them.

 For them,the Lord Jesus upon Calvary routed every foe, breaking all the weapons of the enemy in pieces by His finished work of satisfactory obedience; by His triumphant resurrection and ascension He completely overturned the hopes of hell, leading captivity captive, making a show of our enemies openly, triumphing over them by His cross. 

Every arrow of guilt which Satan might have shot at us is broken, for who can lay anything to the charge of God's elect? Vain are the sharp swords of infernal malice, and the perpetual battles of the serpent's seed, for in the midst of the church the lame take the prey, and the feeblest warriors are crowned.

The saved may well adore their Lord for His conquests in them, since the arrows of their natural hatred are snapped, and the weapons of their rebellion broken. 

What victories has grace won in our evil hearts! How glorious is Jesus when the will is subdued, and sin dethroned! As for our remaining corruptions, they shall sustain an equally sure defeat, and every temptation, and doubt, and fear, shall be utterly destroyed.

 In the Salem of our peaceful hearts, the name of Jesus is great beyond compare: He has won our love, and He shall wear it. Even thus securely may we look for victories by us.

 We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. We shall cast down the powers of darkness which are in the world, by our faith, and zeal, and holiness; we shall win sinners to Jesus, we shall overturn false systems, we shall convert nations, for God is with us, and none shall stand before us.

 This evening let the Christian warrior chant the war song, and prepare for to-morrow's fight. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

"Behold, all is vanity."

"Behold, all is vanity."—Ecclesiastes 1:14.

NOTHING can satisfy the entire man but the Lord's love and the Lord's own self. 

Saints have tried to anchor in other roadsteads, but they have been driven out of such fatal refuges. 

Solomon, the wisest of men, was permitted to make experiments for us all, and to do for us what we must not dare to do for ourselves. 

Here is his testimony in his own words: "So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.

 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun."

 "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." What! the whole of it vanity? O favoured monarch, is there nothing in all thy wealth? Nothing in that wide dominion reaching from the river even to the sea? Nothing in Palmyra's glorious palaces? Nothing in the house of the forest of Lebanon? In all thy music and dancing, and wine and luxury, is there nothing? "Nothing," he says, "but weariness of spirit." 

This was his verdict when he had trodden the whole round of pleasure. 

To embrace our Lord Jesus, to dwell in His love, and be fully assured of union with Him—

this is all in all.

 Dear reader, you need not try other forms of life in order to see whether they are better than the Christian's: if you roam the world around, you will see no sights like a sight of the Saviour's face; if you could have all the comforts of life, if you lost your Saviour, you would be wretched; but if you win Christ, then should you rot in a dungeon, you would find it a paradise; should you live in obscurity, or die with famine, you will yet be satisfied with favour and full of the goodness of the Lord.

God bless YOU !!!

O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness

"O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men."—Psalm 107:8.

IF we complained less, and praised more, we should be happier, and God would be more glorified.

 Let us daily praise God for common mercies—common as we frequently call them, and yet so priceless, that when deprived of them we are ready to perish.

 Let us bless God for the eyes with which we behold the sun, for the health and strength to walk abroad, for the bread we eat, for the raiment we wear.

 Let us praise Him that we are not cast out among the hopeless, or confined amongst the guilty; let us thank Him for liberty, for friends, for family associations and comforts; let us praise Him, in fact, for everything which we receive from His bounteous hand, for we deserve little, and yet are most plenteously endowed.

But, beloved, the sweetest and the loudest note in our songs of praise should be of redeeming love.

God's redeeming acts towards His chosen are for ever the favourite themes of their praise.

 If we know what redemption means, let us not withhold our sonnets of thanksgiving.
 We have been redeemed from the power of our corruptions, uplifted from the depth of sin in which we were naturally plunged.

 We have been led to the cross of Christ—our shackles of guilt have been broken off; we are no longer slaves, but children of the living God, and can antedate the period when we shall be presented before the throne without spot or wrinkle or any such thing.

Even now by faith we wave the palm-branch and wrap ourselves about with the fair linen which is to be our everlasting array, and shall we not unceasingly give thanks to the Lord our Redeemer?

 Child of God, canst thou be silent? Awake, awake,
ye heritors of glory, and lead your captivity captive, as ye cry with David,
"Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name." 
Let the new month begin with new songs.

"Michael and his angels fought against the dragon

"Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels."—Revelation 12:7.

WAR always will rage between the two great sovereignties until one or other be crushed.

Peace between good and evil is an impossibility; the very pretence of it would, in fact, be the triumph of the powers of darkness.


Michael will always fight; his holy soul is vexed with sin, and will not endure it. Jesus will always be the dragon's foe, and that not in a quiet sense, but actively, vigorously,
with full determination to exterminate evil.

All His servants, whether angels in heaven or messengers on earth, will and must fight; they are born to be warriors—at the cross they enter into covenant never to make truce with evil; they are a warlike company, firm in defence and fierce in attack.

The duty of every soldier in the army of the Lord is daily, with all his heart, and soul, and strength, to fight against the dragon.

The dragon and his angels will not decline the affray; they are incessant in their onslaughts,
sparing no weapon, fair or foul.

We are foolish to expect to serve God without opposition: the more zealous we are,
the more sure are we to be assailed by the myrmidons of hell.

The church may become slothful, but not so her great antagonist; his restless spirit never suffers the war to pause; he hates the woman's seed, and would fain devour the church if he could.

The servants of Satan partake much of the old dragon's energy, and are usually an active race.

War rages all around, and to dream of peace is dangerous and futile.

Glory be to God, we know the end of the war.
The great dragon shall be cast out and for ever destroyed, while Jesus and they who are with Him shall receive the crown.

Let us sharpen our swords to-night, and pray the Holy Spirit to nerve our arms for the conflict.
 Never battle so important, never crown so glorious.

Every man to his post, ye warriors of the cross, and may the Lord tread Satan under your feet shortly!

"Spices for anointing oil."

 "Spices for anointing oil."—Exodus 35:8.


MUCH use was made of this anointing oil under the law, and that which it represents is of primary importance under the gospel.

The Holy Spirit, who anoints us for all holy service, is indispensable to us if we would serve the Lord acceptably.

 Without His aid our religious services are but a vain oblation, and our inward experience is a dead thing. Whenever our ministry is without unction, what miserable stuff it becomes! nor are the prayers, praises, meditations, and efforts of private Christians one jot superior. A holy anointing is the soul and life of piety, its absence the most grievous of all calamities.

 To go before the Lord without anointing is as though some common Levite had thrust himself into the priest's office—his ministrations would rather have been sins than services.

 May we never venture upon hallowed exercises without sacred anointings. They drop upon us from our glorious Head; from His anointing we who are as the skirts of His garments partake of a plenteous unction.

Choice spices were compounded with rarest art of the apothecary to form the anointing oil, to show forth to us how rich are all the influences of the Holy Spirit.

 All good things are found in the divine Comforter.

 Matchless consolation, infallible instruction, immortal quickening, spiritual energy, and divine sanctification all lie compounded with other excellencies in that sacred eye-slave, the heavenly anointing oil of the Holy Spirit.

 It imparts a delightful fragrance to the character and person of the man upon whom it is poured.

Nothing like it can be found in all the treasuries of the rich, or the secrets of the wise.

 It is not to be imitated.
 It comes alone from God, and it is freely given, through Jesus Christ, to every waiting soul.

 Let us seek it, for we may have it, may have it this very evening. O Lord, anoint Thy servants.

Doing what God Can Bless

Doing what God Can Bless

The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto. (Deuteronomy 28:8)

If we obey the Lord our God He will bless that which He gives us.

Riches are no curse when blessed of the Lord.
 When men have more than they require for their immediate need and begin to lay up in storehouses, the dry rot of covetousness or the blight of hard-heartedness is apt to follow the accumulation; but with God's blessing it is not so.

 Prudence arranges the saving, liberality directs the spending, gratitude maintains consecration, and praise sweetens enjoyment.

 It is a great mercy to have God's blessing in one's iron safe and on one's banking account.

What a favor is made ours by the last clause!
"The Lord shall bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand unto."

We would not put our hand to anything upon which we dare not ask God's blessing, neither would we go about it without prayer and faith.

But what a privilege to be able to look for the Lord's help in every enterprise! Some talk of a lucky man: the blessing of the Lord is better than luck.

 The patronage of the great is nothing to the favor of God.
Self-reliance is all very well; but the Lord's blessing is infinitely more than all the fruit of talent, genius, or tact.
