When the
throne of Christ is set up in a soul, there is, or ought to
be, great joy in that soul; and provision is made, not as
here, for a few days, but for the whole life, and for
eternity.
Happy are
those who wisely perceive it to be their duty and interest,
to submit to the Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of David; who
renounce for his sake all that is not consistent; whose
earnest endeavors to do good are directed by the wisdom that
God gives, through acquaintance with his word, experience,
and observation.
If any man
lack this wisdom, let him ask it of God, who gives to all
men liberally, and upbraids not, and it shall be given him.
