Psalms 127:5

REFLECTIONS

MY soul! art thou building for eternity? See that Jesus be the foundation-stone. Art thou warring a good warfare? See that thou prove thyself a good soldier of Jesus Christ, by taking to thee the whole armour of God. Hast thou a family of children rising up about thee? Oh! dedicate them to the Lord, and see that they are brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In every department, and in every case, look to the Lord Jesus for all, and make him the Alpha and Omega of all. Oh! the blessedness of children begotten of God: adopted into his family; the image of Jesus impressed upon them, and the Spirit of Jesus in their hearts. Jesus will then give his beloved sleep; dearly they are beloved by Jesus, for they are the gift of his Father, and the purchase of his blood; and he will guide them, protect them, provide for them: when they wander, he will reclaim them; when they grow cold, his love will again warm them. They shall be always under his almighty eye; and his almighty arm will always be stretched forth for their guidance and defense. My soul! art thou the faithful builder on Jesus; the diligent watchman for Jesus, and of the family of faith in Jesus?
