God Shall Be With You

“And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.” | Genesis 48: 21

Good old Jacob could no longer be with Joseph, for his hour had come to die, but he left his son without anxiety, for he said with confidence, “God shall be with you.”

When our dearest relations or our most helpful friends are called home by death, we must console ourselves with the reflection that the Lord has not departed from us but lives for us and abides with us forever.

If God be with us, we are in ennobling company, even though we are poor and despised.

If God be with us, we have all-sufficient strength, for nothing can be too hard for the Lord.

If God be with us, we are always safe, for none can harm those who walk under His shadow.

Oh, what a joy we have here!

Not only is God with us, but He will be with us.

With us as individuals; with us as families; with us as churches.

Is not the very name of Jesus, Immanuel – God with us?

Is not this the best of all, that God is with us?

Let us be bravely diligent and joyously hopeful.

Our cause must prosper, the truth must win, for the Lord is with those who are with Him.

All this day may this sweet word be enjoyed by every believer who turns to ‘faith’s checkbook.’

No greater happiness is possible.

What God’s People Glory In

”But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” | Galatians 6: 14

I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ.

My hope lies in another quarter.

I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them, and say, “You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself.”

My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.

Children in the Marketplace

When scripture speaks of God being ‘from above’, it is not speaking of direction (what we think is up or down) but of superiority; high and lifted up, as opposed to being lowly.

Our God is all around us.

“In Him we live and move and have our being.” We are like a bottle in smoke.

David said: “If I make my bed in hell Thou art there.”

How shall every eye see Him from all parts of the earth? How?

All eyes will be opened to see Him as He is… omnipresent… everywhere.

As Elisha’s servant’s eyes were opened to see horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha, all flesh shall someday see the Lord, as He is, all around us.

The Issue of Predestination

“Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” | Acts 4: 10-12

Christ was delivered to die by the priests for envy; by Judas for gain; by the people in blind zeal; by Pilate for political advantage; but by God to accomplish the redemption of his elect.
