His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability and infallibility, are all combined for our defence. The whole of Christ, in his adorable character as the Son of God, is by himself made over to us most richly to enjoy. His wisdom is our direction, his knowledge our instruction, his power our protection, his justice our surety, his love our comfort, his mercy our solace, and his immutability our trust. He makes no reserve, but opens the recesses of the Mount of God and bids us dig in its mines for the hidden treasures. No calm more deep than that which succeeds a storm.
Victorious banquets are for well exercised soldiers.
It is peace, sweet, deep peace, which follows the horrible turmoil which once reigned in our tormented, guilty souls. He has his best things last, and he therefore in this world receives his worst things first. Wait, O soul, and let patience have her perfect work. .
