Show Forth the Praises of our LORD JESUS CHRIST



God formed all people, they are all the workmanship of God; but there are a few characters set especially apart as a little group, whom God has ordained to glorify; and to them He says, "This people have I formed for Myself, and they shall shew forth My praise" (ISAIAH 43:21). "O yes," says free-will, "They shall have a chance to do it, if they will." But God says, "They shall."

Unbelief says "You shan’t;" carnal reason says, "You can’t;" and inbred corruption says "You won’t." But when God says "You shall," and when He speaks the divine "shall," it comes with an invincible energy to the conscience, and that blessed truth is made manifest that "He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill" (PSALM 113:7).
