Such a wonder-working grace
(Thomas Watson, "The Beatitudes" 1660)
"In every situation take the shield of faith, and with it you will be able to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one!" Ephes. 6:16
"Everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world—even our faith." 1 John 5:4
Why is faith such a wonder-working grace?
Faith unites the soul to Christ, and that blessed Head sends forth grace into the members. "I can do all things through Christ, who give me strength!" Philippians 4:13. Faith goes to Christ—and fetches His strength into the soul.
Faith works a contempt of the world into the heart. Faith gives a true map of the world, "When I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve—everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun!" Ecc. 2:11
Faith shows the world in its night-dress, having all its jewels pulled off. Faith makes the world appear in its true state. Faith shows the soul better things than the world. It gives a sight of Christ and eternal glory. Faith climbs up above sense and reason, into heaven and sees Christ—and the soul, having once viewed His superlative excellencies, becomes crucified to the world. Says the Christian—"Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ!" Philippians 3:8
Faith gets strength from God's promises. Faith lives upon the promises. Take the fish out of the water—and it dies. Take faith out of a promise—and it cannot live. The promises are breasts of consolation. The child by sucking the breast, gets strength. Faith gets strength—by sucking the breast of a promise. When faith begins to be weak and is ready to faint in the day of battle, then the promises muster their forces together, and all come in for faith's relief—and now it is able to hold out in the fiery trial.
Faith gives the soul a right notion of suffering. Faith draws the true picture of sufferings. What is suffering? Faith says, "it is but the suffering of the body—which must shortly by the course of nature, drop into the dust." Thus faith gives the soul a just measure of sufferings—which enables a Christian to prostrate his life at the feet of Christ.
Faith picks sweetness out of suffering. The bee gathers the sweetest honey from the bitterest herb. So faith gathers the sweetest comforts, from the sharpest trials. Faith looks upon suffering as God's love-token! "Afflictions are sharp arrows—but they are shot from the hand of a loving Father!" Faith can taste honey at the end of the afflicting rod. Faith fetches joy out of suffering, "Your sorrow will turn to joy!" John 16:20. Faith gets honey from the belly of the lion. Faith finds a jewel under the cross! "We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 ____________________ From Grace Gems: Very Old - But Beautiful and Timeless Treasures.

The dark tale
(Gleanings from the Inner Life of Ruth Bryan)
December 31st, 1837. The last day of the year has come again! How rapidly are the wheels of time revolving and bearing me on to a boundless eternity! Another year closing, and of what do its "gone-by" periods testify? Why! of aggravated transgression and ingratitude on my part—and most astonishing mercy and longsuffering from my covenant God!
There has also been granted more laying hold of Christ; and, when sensible of sin, more running to Him for pardon and cleansing, and, as it were, hanging upon Him in my desperate case. All this, with much more, I take to be very, very great mercy.
But, oh! the dark tale of my own sin, which has also marked this year—it is too black to be told! Ingratitude, murmuring, carnality, worldliness, unbelief, backsliding, and a thousand other evils—make up a list which ought to sink me into shame and self-abasement!
Almighty Spirit, condescend to melt me into real contrition, that having received much—I may love much; and having sinned much—I may have much forgiven.
I am sure the flesh is no friend of mine, and as I have not resolution to cut off its right-hand sins, and to pluck out its right-eye sins—it is most merciful of the Lord to do it for me. And though I often cry out from pain, my heart says—Go on, Lord, deal with me as You will; only support and bring me to walk closely with You. ____________________ From Grace Gems: Very Old - But Beautiful and Timeless Treasures.

The year before our eyes
(J. C. Philpot)
"As your days—so shall your strength be." Deuteronomy 33:25
The year before our eyes may hold in its bosom, events which may deeply concern and affect us. We do not know what is to come. What personal trials, what family trials, what providential trials may await us—we do not know. Every year hitherto has brought its trials in its train; and how can we expect the coming year to be exempt?
Sickness may attack our bodies, death enter our families, difficulties beset our circumstances, trials and temptations exercise our minds, snares entangle our feet, and many dark and gloomy clouds, make our path one of heaviness and sorrow.
If, indeed, we are His, whatever our trials may be—His grace will be sufficient for us.
He who has delivered—can and will deliver.
And He who has brought us thus far on the road, who has so borne with our crooked manners in the wilderness and never yet forsaken us—though we have so often forsaken Him—will still lead us along; will still guide and guard us, and be our God, our Father and our Friend—not only to the end of the next year, if spared to see it, but the end of our life.
Blessed with His presence—we need fear no evil; favored with His smile—we need dread no foe; upheld by His power—we need shrink from no trial; strengthened by His grace—we need panic at no suffering.
Knowing what we are and have been when left to ourselves—the slips that we have made, the snares that we have been entangled in, the shame and sorrow that we have procured to ourselves—well may we dread to go forth in the coming year alone. Well may we say, "If Your Presence does not go with us—do not send us up from here!" Exodus 33:15 ____________________ From Grace Gems: Very Old - But Beautiful and Timeless Treasures.

The divine philosophy for peaceful living
(J. R. Miller, "Counsel and Help" 1907)
"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" Genesis 18:14
"I know that You can do all things; no plan of Yours can be thwarted!" Job 42:2
Everything which threatens to give us anxiety—is to be taken at once to God. Nothing is too great to carry to Him. Does not He bear up all worlds? Does not He rule over all the affairs of the universe? Is there any matter in our life, however great it may seem to us—too hard for Him to manage? Is any perplexity too difficult for Him to resolve? Is any human despair too dark for Him to illumine with hope? Is there any tangle or confusion out of which He cannot extricate us?
Nothing is too small to carry to Him. Is He not our Father, and is He not sincerely interested in whatever concerns us? There is not one of the countless things which fly like specks of dust all through our daily life, tending to vex and fret us—that we may not take to God.
The Scriptures prescribe a cure for anxious care. The divine philosophy for peaceful living says: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus!" Philippians 4:6-7
Refer every disturbing thing to Him—that He may bear the burden of it. "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will support you!" Psalms 55:22. "Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you!" 1 Peter 5:7 ____________________ From Grace Gems: Very Old - But Beautiful and Timeless Treasures.

Hello Sister Def, That sounds like a huge job. I'm not real sure about what you're doing. Do you mean that you are making a new translation from the ancient languages, or are you recording the Bible in your own voice? I'm a little bit confused. Regardless, we'll miss you. Take a break from time to time and come holler at us. Love In Christ, Tom

Hello Sister Def,
YES - I understand completely now. I got a reading of the New Testament from James Earl Jones on CD for Christmas. I look forward to doing the same thing you are doing. James Earl Jones has a beautiful deep voice and other qualities that make listening to him very pleasant. This set also has music and graphics, so I expect it to be a nice experience.
Sister, I tried having computer generated voices reading the Bible to me, but most of them are very robotic and hard to listen to for very long. I'm not familiar with Stephen Johnston, but I do know that many people with pleasant voices have recorded Bible readings. I'll be finding out soon how nice it is to lean back, relax, and listen to the Bible being read.
Love In Christ, Tom
Ephesians 1:18-23 NASB I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

These venomous creatures!
(Thomas Watson, "The Christian's Charter")
Sin is a leprous spot. It makes everything we touch unclean. Thus in every man naturally, there is a fretting leprosy of sin, pride, unbelief, lust, etc. These are leprous spots.
Sin is a defiling thing, it makes us red with guilt—and black with filth! Sin is compared to a menstrual cloth. Sin draws the Devil's picture in a man: malice is the Devil's eye; oppression is his hand; hypocrisy is his cloven foot!
At last death comes—and the saint is freed from the leprosy! Death is the last and best physician, which cures all diseases and sins—the aching head and the unbelieving heart. Sin was the midwife which brought death into the world; and death shall be the grave to bury sin! O the privilege of a believer!
The Persians had a certain day in the year, wherein they used to kill all serpents and venomous creatures. Such a day as that, will the day of death be to the true Christian. This day the old serpent dies in a believer, which has so often stung him with temptations! This day the sins of the godly—these venomous creatures—shall all be destroyed! ____________________ From Grace Gems: Very Old - But Beautiful and Timeless Treasures.

The free, sovereign grace of God!
(Octavius Winslow, "Christ, Our Righteousness")
"Those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified." Romans 8:30
The justified sinner stands the closest to God, of any created being in the universe. Nearer to the throne of the Eternal, he cannot stand.
What marvelous love!
Who will dare assert that salvation is not, from first to last—of free, sovereign grace!
Let your eye pierce the veil which falls between earth and heaven. Behold that shining, worshiping being, standing so near to the throne of glory, bathed in the overpowering effulgence of its rays!
Who is he?
He was once a sinner upon earth, the vilest of his race, the dishonored of his generation, forsaken by man—and abhorred of God.
But Jesus met him, and divine love drew him, and sovereign grace rescued, pardoned, and saved him! And now washed from all his guilt by the blood, freed from all condemnation by the righteousness of Christ—he stands before the throne "blameless," a "king and a priest unto God." Such is the great love of Jesus! And all this grace, and all this glory, and all this bliss—flows from the free, sovereign grace of God! ____________________ From Grace Gems: Very Old - But Beautiful and Timeless Treasures.

A little nook in the very heart of God
(J. R. Miller, "The Marriage Altar" 1898 )
God's plan for every marriage is happiness.
Marriage is meant to be a miniature of heaven—a fragment of the celestial blessedness, let down into this world.
Marriage is meant to be a little sanctuary, into which husband and wife may flee from earth's storms and dangers, where in love's shelter, their hearts fed with affection's daily bread—they may dwell in quiet peace.
Marriage is meant to be a shelter in which, covered from the frosts of the world and shielded from its cold and tempests—two lives may grow together into richest beauty, realizing their sweetest dreams of happiness, blending in whatever things are true, whatever things are pure, and attaining the finest possibilities of godly character.
Marriage is meant to be a holy ark, floating on the wild floods of human life—like Noah's ark on the deluge, bearing to heaven's gates, to the harbor of glory—the lives which God has shut within its doors.
A godly marriage is a little nook in the very heart of God, where faithful souls are held close to the Father's heart, and carried safely, amid dangers and sorrows, to the home above! ____________________ From Grace Gems: Very Old - But Beautiful and Timeless Treasures.

Put all sorrow's wounds into His hand
(J. R. Miller, "By the Still Waters")
"He restores my soul." Psalm 23:3
In several ways does the shepherd restore his sheep. If one wanders away, he goes out after it, and seeks it until he finds it, restoring it to the shelter of the fold. If one faints and grows sick by the way, in the hard journey or the burning heat—the shepherd does not leave it to die, but takes it up in his arms, and carries it home, restoring it to the fold. If a sheep is hurt, torn by a wild beast or injured by accident—the shepherd tends its wounds until they are healed.
All this suggests how our Good Shepherd restores our souls. Sometimes we wander away. It is very easy to drift off from Christ. The drifting is often unconscious —we do not realize that we are losing our first love— and little by little, we are far off from Christ. Perhaps it is a cherished sin which eats out our heart-life. Or perhaps it is a worldly companionship which draws us away, loosening the bonds which bound us to Christ. Sometimes it is an absorbing business which leaves no room for God. Or it may be the cares of this world which choke the Word and quench the Spirit. We often need to have our soul restored, quickened, revived—or we would never get safely home, through this evil world.
Then, what soul is not sometimes hurt, wounded, torn—by the wild beasts of temptation? Sin is a fearful thing. It wounds the soul—and no hand but Christ's can restore it. But if we put our hurt life into His hand, He will give healing. What millions of sin's woundings—has our Good Shepherd cured!
Then, when sorrow has left the heart broken, it is only the Good Shepherd who can restore it. He is a most skillful physician. We may put all sorrow's wounds into His hand. He is most gentle, and His hand is infinitely skillful. He is a wonderful comforter. No human hand can heal a heart that is bruised—but the hand of Jesus has infinite delicacy and skill.
