God's Multiplication Table

"A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the
LORD will hasten it in his time" (Isaiah 60:22).

Works for the LORD often begin on a small scale, and they are none the worse
for this. Feebleness educates faith, brings God near, and wins glory for His
name. Prize promises of increase! Mustard seed is the smallest among seeds, and
yet it becomes a treelike plant, with branches which lodge the birds of heaven.
We may begin with one, and that "a little one," and yet it will "become a
thousand." The LORD is great at the multiplication table. How often did He say
to His lone servant, "I will multiply thee!" Trust in the LORD, ye ones and
twos; for He will be in the midst of you if you are gathered in His name.

"A small one." What can be more despicable in the eyes of those who count heads
and weigh forces! Yet this is the nucleus of a great nation. Only one star
shines out at first in the evening, but soon the sky is crowded with countless
lights. Nor need we think the prospect of increase to be remote, for the
promise is, "I Jehovah will hasten it in his time." There will be no premature
haste, like that which we see at excited meetings; it will be all in due time,
but yet there will be no delay. When the LORD hastens, His speed is glorious.

730 C.M. E. PERRONET
"Jesus Christ ... Lord of all." Acts 10. 36; Rev. 19. 16.

1 All hail the power of Jesus' name, Let angels prostrate fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.

2 Ye souls redeemed of Gentile race, Ye ransomed from the fall;
Hail him who saves you by his grace, And crown him Lord of all.

3 Let every kindred, every tribe,
Throughout this earthly ball,
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all.

4 We too, amid the sacred throng,
Low at his feet would fall,
Join in the everlasting song,
And crown him Lord of all.
