FEBRUARY 5
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead
through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Through the precious blood of Jesus, God is fully
pacified towards us, and perfectly reconciled to us.
He is the peaceful God. We have nothing to fear
from him, but may expect every blessing which we plead for in the name of
Jesus.
He was angry with us, but his anger is turned
away, and he comforts us.
He is at peace with us, and we are at peace with
him.
He seeks our welfare, and we seek to promote his
glory. What a sweet view of Jehovah is this!
“THE GOD OF PEACE.”
As such, let us approach him, pour our hearts
before him, exercise confidence in him, and anew commit ourselves unreservedly
into his hands.
He has accepted the finished work of Jesus for
us, he brought him again from the dead, he placed him at his own right hand in
heavenly places, and he delights to bless our souls for his sake.
He will never be more at peace with us than he is
at this moment; though we may more confidently believe it, and more sweetly
enjoy it.
The resurrection of Jesus our substitute, proves
that he is fully satisfied; and the gift of the Holy Spirit shows that he
delights to do us good.
Beware therefore of mistaken views, or hard
thoughts of God.
He is “THE GOD OF PEACE.”
The quiet, peaceful frame:
Sprinkle the blood upon my heart,
And there engrave thy name.
James Smith
