Psalms 125:5

REFLECTIONS

MY soul! contemplate in this Psalm the security of the Lord's people, and beg of thy gracious God to give thee, an everlasting, steady, and unshaken faith in him. Thou hast been sweetly taught, that there is nothing to be depended upon but Jesus: and having, through grace, made a covenant God in Christ thy portion; see to it, that He, the rock of ages, is thy rock, thy confidence, thy strong hold, and thine abiding place, for-ever. So that strengthened in his strength, and made powerful in his might, thou wilt be more than conqueror through Him that loveth thee. Learn Paul's maxim, and under the Holy Ghost's sweet influence, from day today bring it forth into continual exercise: I c an do nothing of myself, but I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me. Rejoice in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
