Psalms 62:12

REFLECTIONS

OH! the blessedness of having a God in covenant to trust in, and that God ever to look up to, and to lean upon, in and through a Mediator, who hath, by his perfect obedience and death, completed the salvation of his people. My soul, art thou so looking to him, so depending upon him, as to make him thine only rock, thine only defense and salvation? Manifest then the firmness of thy trust, in a silent, patient, submissive waiting. Recollect at all times, that the Lord's time of deliverance is the best time, and learn to say upon every occasion of trial, He will come, he will be found of them that seek him; for the Lord waiteth to be gracious, he hateth putting away, he resteth in his love. I will trust, and not be afraid, for the Lord Jehovah is my strength, and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Oh! ye sons of men, who know not my God, what think ye must be the final issue of despising such great salvation? Oh! think, before it be too late, what a tottering foundation ye rest all your hopes upon? Surely the rock of the ungodly, is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. Oh! kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
