God Can Make You Strong

"Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be
rewarded" (2 Chronicles 15:7).

God had done great things for King Asa and Judah, but yet they were a feeble
folk. Their feet were very tottering in the ways of the LORD, and their hearts
very hesitating, so that they had to be warned that the LORD would be with them
while they were with Him, but that if they forsook Him He would leave them.
They were also reminded of the sister kingdom, how ill it fared in its
rebellion and how the LORD was gracious to it when repentance was shown. The
LORD's design was to confirm them in His way and make them strong in
righteousness. So ought it to be with us. God deserves to be served with all
the energy of which we are capable. If the service of God is worth anything, it
is worth everything. We shall find our best reward in the LORD's work if we do
it with determined diligence. Our labor is not in vain in the LORD, and we know
it. Halfhearted work will bring no reward; but when we throw our whole soul
into the cause, we shall see prosperity. This text was sent to the author of
these notes in a day of terrible storm, and it suggested to him to put on all
steam, with the assurance of reaching port in safety with a glorious freight.

600 8.7.4. W. GADSBY
"Mercy and truth are met together." Ps. 85. 10

1 Truth and mercy meet together,
Righteousness and peace embrace;
Each perfection of Jehovah
Meets and shines in Jesus' face;
Here the Father
Can be just and save by grace.

2 What a field of consolation!
Here no jarring notes are found;
Zion has a full salvation,
And shall all her foes confound;
Each believer
Has for hope a solid ground.

3 Justice has no loss sustainŠd;
Truth remains in perfect light;
Not an attribute is stainŠd;
All in one grand cause unite;
SavŠd sinners
Must and shall in God delight.

4 Here's a cord which can't be broken; O my soul, with wonder tell;
God himself the word has spoken,
Zion in her Lord shall dwell;
And with Jesus
Live in spite of earth and hell.

5 [O ye much-esteemŠd sinners,
Who in Jesus Christ are found,
Rest assured you shall be winners,
Soon with glory shall be crowned;
And for ever
Shall the praise to Christ redound.]
