Daily Reading: Exodus 23:1-25:40
Quick Study: Exodus 14:1-15:27
I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the
praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath
bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house
of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his
mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
And canst thou not do this? Are there no mercies which thou
hast experienced? What though thou art gloomy now, canst
thou forget that blessed hour when Jesus met thee, and said,
"Come unto me?" Canst thou not remember that rapturous moment
when he snapped thy fetters, dashed thy chains to the earth, and
said, "I came to break thy bonds and set thee free?" Or if the
love of thine espousals be forgotten, there must surely be some
precious milestone along the road of life not quite grown over
with moss, on which thou canst read a happy memorial of his
mercy towards thee? What, didst thou never have a sickness like
that which thou art suffering now, and did he not restore thee?
Wert thou never poor before, and did he not supply thy wants?
Wast thou never in straits before, and did he not deliver thee?
Arise, go to the river of thine experience, and pull up a few
bulrushes, and plait them into an ark, wherein thine infant
faith may float safely on the stream. Forget not what thy God
has done for thee; turn over the book of thy remembrance, and
consider the days of old. Canst thou not remember the hill
Mizar? Did the Lord never meet with thee at Hermon? Hast thou
never climbed the Delectable Mountains? Hast thou never been
helped in time of need? Nay, I know thou hast. Go back, then, a
little way to the choice mercies of yesterday, and though all
may be dark now, light up the lamps of the past, they shall
glitter through the darkness, and thou shalt trust in the Lord
till the day break and the shadows flee away. "Remember, O Lord,
thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses, for they have been
ever of old."
