Psalms 11:7

REFLECTIONS

How blessed it is, to have a God in Christ to flee unto, and to put our sure trust in, when storms invade the church, or when the enemy comes forward with a high hand. Though a lost encamp against me, said one of old, yet shall not my heart be afraid. And it is here alone, in the well-grounded confidence of salvation by Jesus, that a true believer finds an adequate support for every affliction. And what real, solid, and substantial comfort must every truly regenerate believer who hath Jesus for his hope, and righteousness, and salvation. Reader, how stands the case between God and your soul? Is Jesus your hope, your consolation, your security? Then, and not otherwise, will the soul be borne up, and carried through, all the difficulties of a spiritual conflict: for if God be for us, who can be against us? Jesus, Lord! be thou my everlasting security, my hope, my righteousness, and portion forever.
