“Oh that I were as in months past.” ~ Job 29:2 ~ Numbers of Christians can view the past with pleasure, but regard the present with dissatisfaction; they look back upon the days which they have passed in communing with the Lord as being the sweetest and the best they have ever known, but as to the present, it is… (more…)

“Christ, who is our life.” ~ Colossians 3:4 ~ Paul’s marvellously rich expression indicates, that Christ is the source of our life. “You hath He quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins.” That same voice which brought Lazarus out of the tomb raised us to newness of life.

“The upright love Thee” ~ Song of Solomon 1:4 ~ Believers love Jesus with a deeper affection then they dare to give to any other being. They would sooner lose father and mother then part with Christ.
