press the emotions Of the inner man.
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good
things;
So that thy youth. is renewed like the
eagle.
The soul has its mouth as well as
the body; and the Lord supplies food
for the satisfaction of its cravings,
and the sustenance of it's life. No
good thing will He withhold from the
soul. 1t cries for salvation; and God
answers to the uttermost. 1t Graves
love: behold God gives it, shed abroad
in the heart 1t longs for Joy; behold
His Joy is poured into the heart. 1t
demands peace; and His peace He
gives unto IT. 1t longs for the very
life of God; and, behold, God himself
becomes its portion.
The outward man perishes but the
inner man is renewed day by day. The
heritage of the soul which the Lord
saves is perpetual youth. All the fac
ulties that are physical will decay
while we are in this mortal body, but
the souls faculties will become strong
err and stronger. With eye OF faith
and wing Of power the soul will see
and soar more and more in the realm
Of the spiritual.
Note the list of blessings upon the
soul which call for grateful praise:
Forgiveth
Healeth
Redeemeth
Crowneth
Satisfieth
Can anything more be desired?
The Lord executeth righteous acts,
And judgments for all that are OPP
pressed.
God is the great executive of the I'M
iverse. Nothing takes place without
His being in some way connected with
1t. Yet in such a way that He never
is responsible for any wrong. He can
not be the author of sin of any kind
or any degree. All His deeds are ac-
cording to right. His scepter Is al
ways a scepter of righteousness. Even
His grace extended toward sinners is
not shown at the expense of Justice.
He remains just, while the JUS
tifier Of the ungodly. So de-
voted to right is He that He will main
tain the right at great cost-the great
est He can possibly pay and remain
God.
He stands for the defense Of the
oppressed. Always He has shown that
He is the friend of the lowly, of those
who know poverty and are cast out Of
the worlds admiration and care. He
will pass judgment upon those who
Cypress the hireling in his wages, and
will defend the widows and the or
phans against those who would rob
them of what Is rightfully theirs and
l. d. sA.,I -, H.
prince of this world is judged and cast
out from the domination over those
whom he has taken captive at his will.
He made known his ways unto
Moses.
His doings unto the children Of
Israel.
The man of God is In personal COM
munion with his Maker and Redeem
err. With Moses Jehovah spoke face
to face, as a man talketh with his
friend. and He took His servant into
His secret counsel and confidence. The
secret of the Lord is with them that
fear Him, and He will show them His
covenant.
His people in general saw His great
works, when He delivered them with a
stretched-out arm and with great
judgments from the bondage of Egypt,
and led them through the wilderness
and established them in Canaan. 1t
is a great privilege to understand the
doctrine OF God as given by revela-
ton. as to and through Moses. But all
His works are but Illustrations of His
character to those with whom He has
special and gracious dealings, as He
had with Israel of old, and as He has
with His people who commit their
way unto Him and trust also in Him
today. Certainly these words would
indicate closer affiliation and clearer
understanding on the part OF the great
man of God. But nevertheless 1t Is
a blessed thing to be able to under
stand God when He works as well as
when He speaks.
So the Lord pitieth them that fear
him.
The divine compassion is fatherly-
ready to overlook, and even to have
real sorrow for the weakness Of His
own offspring.
For he knoweth our frame;
He remembereth that we are dust.
He is our Maker. He framed us out
of the dust of the ground. And He
well knows that we could not breathe
another breath without Him-so ut
terly dependent are we. As the In
finite One who is love. He can not but
have sympathy with US in all our in
firmities.
AS for man, his days are as grass;
AS a flower Of the field, SO he flour
isheth.
He springs up in the spring-time OF
life. fresh and green, easy to be tram
pied on and destroyed and soon to
become sore and die; or like the flower
that blooms for a day or two and then
fades and droops and drops its pet
ais. and Is gone. Such is the uncer-
tainty. brevity, mutability of earthly
human life
