PONDERING THE WORD OF GOD (F.E. Marsh)

 

 

When we ponder the Word of God, we are assured again and again of His personal, loving interest in us. 

(1) He numbers the hairs of our head "Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered" (Luke 12:7). 

(2) He bottles the tears of our sorrow "Put Thou my tears into Thy bottle" (Ps.56:8).

(3) He records the thoughts of our meditation "A book of remembrance was written before Him, for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name" (Mai. 3:16). 

(4) He orders the steps of our walk "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord" (Ps. 37:23). 

(5) He hears the cry of our supplication "Before they call, I will answer ; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear" (Isa. 65:24). 

'(6) He looks after our interests in all things "All things work together for good to them that love God" (Rom. 8:28). 

(7) And He supplies every need of our requirement "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)

The child cannot define its mother scientifically, but it knows the mother's love and care intuitively. The child of God cannot explain the unsearchableness of Jehovah, but he does know His unquenchable love.
