Ezekiel 27:36

REFLECTIONS

READER! pause over this Chapter, and remark the transitory state of everything earthly! What are become of all the great monarchies of the world? They, who made so great a noise, and boasted in their day, in giving laws to the world! Alas! the flood of time hath passed over them, and washed them all away!

Reader! in a view of such changeable, fluctuating circumstances of human life; shall not you and I look unto Him, who is the same yesterday, and today, and forever! Precious Lord Jesus! how blessed to my thoughts is it, that thy love, and thy salvation are unchangeably, and forever the same. Though nations and empires rise and fall, and everything earthly is given to change, Jesus and his great salvation is forever, and his righteousness that which cannot be abolished. Sweet is that scripture, The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
