No Need to Stint

"The upright shall have good things in possession" (Proverbs 28:10).

The book of Proverbs is also a book of promises. Promises ought to be proverbs
among the people of God. This is a very remarkable one. We are accustomed to
think of our good things as in reversion, but here we are told that we shall
have them in possession. Not all the malice and cunning of our enemies can work
our destruction: they shall fall into the pit which they have digged. Our
inheritance is so entailed upon us that we shall not be kept out of it, nor so
turned out of the way as to miss it. But what have we now? We have a quiet
conscience through the precious blood of Jesus. We have the love of God set
upon us beyond all change. We have power with God in prayer in all time of
need. We have the providence of God to watch over us, the angels of God to
minister to us, and, above all, the Spirit of God to dwell in us. In fact, all
things are ours. "Whether things present or things to come: all are yours."
Jesus is ours. Yea, the divine Trinity in unity is ours. Hallelujah. Let us not
pine and whine and stint and slave, since we have good things in possession.
Let us live on our God and rejoice in Him all the day. Help us, 0 Holy Ghost!

The High Priest. Ps. 45. 7, 8; Heb. 5. 6, 7




1 When Aaron, in the holiest place, Atonement made for Israel’s race,
The names of all their tribes expressed, He wore conspicuous on his breast.

2 Twelve lettered stones, with sculpture bold, Deep seated in the wounded gold,
Glowed on the breastplate richly bright, And beamed with characteristic light.

3 His hands a golden censer held,
With burning coals and incense filled, Which clouded all the holy room
With odorous streams of rich perfume.

4 And, lest the priest the place defile, A costly, consecrating oil,
With mingled gums and spices sweet, Had for his office made him meet.

5 The liquid compound from his head Its unctuous odours downward spread;
Delicious drops, like balmy dews,
O’er all the man their sweets diffuse.

6 Arrayed in hallowed vests he stood, Sprinkled with holy oil and blood;
The tabernacle’s sacred frame,
And all within it shared the same.

7 So, when our great Melchisedec
The true atonement came to make,
A holy oil anoints him too,
Richer than Aaron ever knew.

8 His body, bathed in sweat and blood, Showered on the ground a purple flood;
The rich effusion copious ran,
To glad the heart of God and man.

9 Deep in his breast engraved he bore Our names, with every penal score,
When pressed to earth he prostrate lay; Shocked at the sum, yet prompt to pay.

10 The fragrant incense of his prayer To heaven went up through yielding air;
Perfumed the throne of God on high, And calmed offended Majesty.
