"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

" Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God ." — Daniel 6:5 [KJV] Happy Daniel, to have such a testimony of thy conduct from the mouth of thine implacable enemies. These men could allege nothing against this servant of God, in regard to his outward life and conversation; for he was a good subject, a quiet neighbour, just and honest in his dealings. Though in an eminent station, yet with what contempt and scorn do they seem to speak of him! This Daniel, this over-righteous fellow, who pretends to be more religious than all the rest of his neighbours. As it was in the beginning, so it is now, and ever will be, "He that is born after the flesh, will persecute him that is born after the Spirit." — Galatians 4:29 . What then? our enemies no sooner assault us, with their tongues, but our God takes our part. "If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are y...

" And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus." — Matthew 14:12 [KJV] Thus was extinguished that burning and shining light, John Baptist. It is very staggering to the eye of sense, and the judgment of carnal reason, that the "Lord, whose eyes are over the righteous," should yet suffer His faithful ministers, and dearest children, to fall a sacrifice to the rage and malice of cruel, and unreasonable men. This puzzled the royal prophet David; this was an exercise to patient Job; and it has put disciples to the stand in all ages. We are ready to cry out, "Where is the God of Elijah!" When it comes nearer home, and we ourselves are the subjects of insults and injuries, from the power and malice of enemies to Jesus and His truths; this is a trial of faith. If this exercise is continued, if the enemy triumphs, and God our Friend appears not, as our Deliverer, how does Satan, who has stirred up fightings witho...

" Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless." — II Peter 3:14 [KJV] It is a most grand delusion to imagine that the doctrines of grace tend to lull the soul asleep in supine indolence, or slothful stupidity. The believer hath not so learned Christ. Though he is saved by grace freely, yet he is called to "labour diligently." By faith he looks forward, to the fulfilment of awful predictions and precious promises. Hence we are excited to daily diligence, in the performance of duties, the use of means, and the exercise of graces. Do we look for the burning of the earth, the elements, and all sublunary things? do we expect to be inhabitants of new heavens, and a new earth? do we wait, and sometimes long for the coming of the Lamb, our loving Master and precious Saviour? and shall we indulge carnal ease and spiritual sloth? shall we not fear to be found of Jesus in...

" Lord, behold, he whom Thou lovest is sick." — John 11:3 [KJV] To have Jesus continually live in our thoughts, should be our daily study. To keep a sweet intercourse open, between Christ and the soul, should be our constant exercise. To be watchful against every bold intruder, that would interrupt our communion with the Saviour, is our greatest wisdom. Thus, through the Spirit's aid, a holy freedom and humble familiarity is maintained with Christ, and our hearts. Why should we not be aiming thus to anticipate heaven? For, Jesus never intermits in His love to us, care over us, and presence with us. Through such a happy conduct, we shall enjoy an abiding sense of this. Then, when sin assaults, Satan attacks, temptations beset, afflictions surround, sickness overtakes, sorrow bows down, death threatens, or whatever may be our state, how comforting when the twin sisters of faith and hope, like the two sisters of Lazarus, carry our case to the Master, with ...

  "And I said, This is my infirmity." — Psalm 77:10 [KJV] While in the body, we are in such an imperfect state, as to be liable to various exercises of mind, through indwelling corruptions, and the suggestions of Satan. Saints in all ages have experienced fluctuating frames. Like mariners on a tempestuous sea, at one time, they seem to mount up to heaven, in comfort and joy; at another, they sink down, in apprehension, to the depths of hell; then, like persons at their wit's end, they express themselves, in a very unreasonable manner.  Doubt and uncertainty take place of knowledge and truth: unbelief seems to prevail against faith; and they are ready to call all in question: not only, past sweet experiences of God's love to their souls, but the very existence of God's promises, faithfulness, and truth. And they write with the pen of inspiration (though not of the Spirit of truth, but of a lying spirit) many false and bitter things against themselves...

The Blessing of Lostness! by D.G. Miles McKee   The only person who ever fulfilled the Law of Moses was Christ Jesus.  He could do nothing else, for He was the thrice-holy God in human flesh appearing.  We, on the other hand, could do nothing other than break God’s Law, since we are, by nature, ungodly sinners ( Romans 5:8 ).   However, we must remember that the Law was never given to save anyone or to be a source of life; it was given to show us what we are … ungodly, lost sinners.  Our inability to keep even the first commandment demonstrates that we are hardened lawbreakers with no ability to love God the way we should ( Matthew 22:37-40 ).    So then, why did God give the Law? One of the reasons was to demonstrate that we are lost.    Why did He do that?   He did it because God only saves lost people ( Luke 19:10 ). That’s right! … Lost people! And on account of that, we are delighted that Jesus came to seek and to save t...
