Praise, Like Clear-flowing Streams
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises
unto thy name, O most High: to shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night. Ps. 92:1, 2.
When the truth is appreciated, . . . we have a sense of the great mercy
and loving-kindness of God. While we review not the dark chapters in our
experience to complain, but the manifestations of His great mercy and
unfailing love and power revealed in our deliverance, we will praise far
more than complain. We will talk of the loving faithfulness of God, as the
true, tender, compassionate Shepherd of His flock, which He has declared
none shall pluck out of His hand. The language of the heart will not be
selfish murmuring and repining, but praise, like clear-flowing streams, will
come from God's truly believing ones. . . .
The Lord is full of resources. He has no lack of facilities. It is
because of our lack of faith, our earthliness, our cheap talk, our unbelief,
that dark shadows gather about us. . . .
The temple of God is opened in heaven, and the threshold is flushed
with the glory that is for every church that will love God and keep His
commandments. We need to study, to meditate, and to pray. Then we shall have
spiritual eyesight to discern the inner courts of the celestial temple. We
shall catch the themes of song and thanksgiving of the heavenly choir round
about the throne. When Zion shall arise and shine, her light will be most
penetrating, and precious songs of praise and thanksgiving will be heard in
the assembly of the saints. Murmurings, complainings, and lamentations over
little disappointments and difficulties will be lost sight of. As we apply
the golden eyesalve we shall see the glories beyond. Faith will cut through
the hellish shadow of Satan, and we shall see our Advocate offering up the
incense of His own merits in our behalf. . . .
Let us take up the praise of God here below. Let us unite with the
heavenly company above. Then we shall represent the truth as it is--a power
to all who believe.
