THE REVIEW
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth:
Psalm 71:17
In early life, God began to instruct us.

He
taught us the rigid requirements of his holy law,
our need of a better righteousness than our own,
the importance of a saving interest in Christ, and
the necessity of personal holiness.

the necessity of personal holiness.
Under
his teaching we,
left the world,
came to Jesus,
embraced the atonement,
found peace, and
commenced walking with God.

Many
years have passed since that period,
many times have we manifested
many times have we manifested
the depravity of our hearts,
through many trials and
troubles
we have been brought, but amidst all,
our God has taught us!
Yes, he has taught us,
our own weakness,
the vanity of the world,
the insufficiency of earthly things, and
the necessity of something superior
to what we find here,
to satisfy the cravings of our immortal minds.

has he taught us our need of Christ, and
how to make use of him.

And
it is in consequence of his teaching
that we now
cleave to Jesus,
prefer holiness to sin,
Heaven to earth, and
the presence of God to everything besides.
Blessed, forever blessed be God,
cleave to Jesus,
prefer holiness to sin,
Heaven to earth, and
the presence of God to everything besides.
Blessed, forever blessed be God,
for teaching us.
For if he had not taught us,
we would have still been,
ignorant of ourselves,
strangers to Jesus, and
alienated from the life of God through
the ignorance that is in us,
because of the natural blindness of our minds.
My
soul, look back at the many Ebenezers

thou hast set up,
when helped in difficulty,
when supplied in necessity, and
when delivered out of trouble.

Especially
notice this, how thy God has taught thee
thy need of his grace,
the preciousness of Christ, and

O
thou blessed God and Savior, I praise,
I bless thee, that thou has taught me
from my youth!

thy God led thee Deuteronomy 8:2
