Believer! what can better support and sustain you amid the
trials of your pilgrimage, than the thought that you have an Omnipotent arm to
lean upon? The God with whom you have to do is boundless in His resources!
There is no crossing His designs, no thwarting His purposes, no
questioning His counsels. His mandate is law! "He speaks and it is
done!" Your need is great. From the humblest crumb of providential goodness, up
to the richest blessing of Divine grace, you are hanging from moment to moment,
as a poor pensioner on Jehovah's bounty! But, fear not! "I am the Almighty God!"
Finite necessities can never exhaust My infinite fullness!
To You, O blessed Jesus! all power has been committed in
Heaven and in earth. "ALL power!" He has in His hands the reigns of universal
empire! To "the Lion of the tribe of Judah" has been entrusted the seven-sealed
scroll of Providence. Whatever is the blessing which the poorest, weakest,
loneliest, most afflicted of His saints require if it is really for their good, the "Wonderful Counselor" secures it. "As a Prince, He has power with God,"
and must "prevail."
He combines in His adorable Person, all that a sinner requires:
a Heart tender enough to love; and a Hand strong enough to save. The Elder
Brother! the "Mighty God!" How He delights in the exercise of His omnipotence in
behalf of His own people in ruling over their interests, and overruling their
trials for their eternal good! When He prays for Himself, it is "Not
My will." When He prays for them, it is, "Father, I will!"
I may well take the motto which He still bears on His breastplate before
the Throne, as the ground of support and encouragement in all time of
tribulation, "able to save to the uttermost!"
