“Forget not all His benefits.” — Psalm 103:2

It is a delightful and profitable occupation to mark the hand of God in the lives of ancient saints, and to observe His goodness in delivering them, His mercy in pardoning them, and His faithfulness in keeping His covenant with them. But would it not be even more interesting and profitable for us to remark the hand of God in our own lives? Ought we not to look upon our own history as being at least as full of God, as full of His goodness and of His truth, as much a proof of His faithfulness and veracity, as the lives of any of the saints who have gone before? We do our Lord an injustice when we suppose that He wrought all His mighty acts, and showed Himself strong for those in the early time, but doth not perform wonders or lay bare His arm for the saints who are now upon the earth. Let us review our own lives. Surely in these we may…

discover some happyincidents, refreshing to ourselves and glorifying to our God. Have you hadno deliverances? Have you passed through no rivers, supported by thedivine presence? Have you walked through no fires unharmed? Have youhad no manifestations? Have you had no choice favours? The God whogave Solomon the desire of his heart, hath He never listened to you andanswered your requests? That God of lavish bounty of whom David sang,“Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things,” hath He never satiated youwith fatness? Have you never been made to lie down in green pastures?Have you never been led by the still waters? Surely the goodness of Godhas been the same to us as to the saints of old. Let us, then, weave Hismercies into a song. Let us take the pure gold of thankfulness, and thejewels of praise and make them into another crown for the head of Jesus.Let our souls give forth music as sweet and as exhilarating as came fromDavid’s harp, while we praise the Lord whose mercy endureth for ever.
