1 Samuel 12:24
Only fear the LORD, and serve him in
truth with all your
heart: for
consider how great things he hath done for
you.
Oh, may I ne’er forget
The mercy of my God;
Nor ever want a tongue to spread
His loudest praise abroad.
We are very apt to dwell upon our miseries, and forget our mercies.
If we are injured by man, how seldom do we forget it; but if we are favoured by
God, how little attention we pay to it.
Let us this morning consider how great things the Lord has done for us, He gave
His Son to be our ransom.
He has given His Spirit to be our guide, and His word to be our directory.
He called us by grace, when we were posting to perdition;
wrought a change in
our hearts, when we were enmity against Him;
and pardoned our sins when we
expected to suffer His fiercest displeasure.
He has given us faith to trust Him; promises
to plead with Him; and proofs of His faithful regard without number.
He hath supplied us through all our journey,
corrected our mistakes, conquered our foes, and no good thing hath He withheld
from us.
Let us consider these things, and praise Him for the past, and trust Him for
the future.
He that is our God, is the God of Salvation; He
hath done great things for us, and He will do greater things, that we may
glorify Him for ever.
My soul, consider the obligations, and give
glory to thy God; do so practically -- do so daily.
The mercy of my God;
Nor ever want a tongue to spread
His loudest praise abroad.
James Smith
