2 Chronicles 12:16

REFLECTIONS

READER! what evidences do the whole earth afford of the reality of grace. We see men like Rehoboam, filling up a place in history, and the sum total of their lives is this, they lived, and eat, and drank, and then died. But is this the end of man's existence? Oh! for distinguishing grace to live all our days to the glory of God. To live for Jesus; and to live to Jesus. What can be sweeter than the precious testimony that we have fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. Lord! grant that this may be my portion. Let nothing call off my attention from thee, the one grand object of all desire. In thee, Lord, I shall possess all things. And if thou art mine, I shall be truly happy in time, and happy to all eternity.
