Comment on Morning January 11 of "Daily Light on Daily Path"

 

 

Dear friend,

 

How good it is that the LORD God should pay a visit to our church. If He should come this Lord's Day, with what do you think we should welcome Him? "Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion." (Psa. 65:1) Zion is the O. T. type of the Church. Is our Church always ready to praise our God? For what do we praise our God?

 

We praise God for all things we are experiencing come from Him. He designed them all in their many basic natures. He governs them, animate and inanimate objects, in so sovereign a manner that all things fall out according to His own counsel and good pleasure. Thus by His own Word, even our Lord Jesus Christ, He brings everything into existence in it own good time. He makes no mistakes and so to those who can see they would be always praising Him.

 

The Church, which is the "Pillar and the Ground of the Truth", help its members to appreciate the word and works of God. Thus, it is a place where "praise waits for" God.

 

God takes great delight to visit such a place where He is appreciated whole-heartedly. "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God." (Psa. 50:23) In this depressing and sinful world, the most wonderful thing is to be able to see the Salvation of God. No one is more qualified to show us such a salvation than God Himself. When we walk uprightly before Him and His people, we can rest assured that He will show us more and more His Great Salvation to the delight of our soul.

 

When all things are over what will we see? "I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and peoples, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen." (Rev. 7:9, 10, 12) Will you and I join this company of people one day?
