Blessings In and Through the LORD OF GLORY
"From this day will I bless thee." -Haggai 2:19 [KJV] My soul, what day is the memorable day to thee from whence commenced thy blessings? No doubt from everlasting the Lord hath blessed His people in Jesus. But the commencement of thy personal enjoyment of those blessings, was at the time the Lord graciously laid the foundation of His spiritual temple in thee; the blessed, the gracious, the auspicious, the happy day, when the Lord made thee willing in the day of His power? Oh! blessed day, never, never to be forgotten! A day of light; when the light of Jesus first broke in upon me. A day of life; when the Lord Jesus quickened my poor soul, which before was laying dead in trespasses and sins. A day of love; when His love first was made known to my soul, who so loved me as to give His dear and ever-blessed Son for me: and His love was sweetly manifested, who so loved me as to give Himself for me. A day of the beginning of victory, over death and hell, and the grave.
