PRECIOUS THINGS
"And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his
land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that
coucheth beneath" Deuteronomy 33:13
We may be rich in such things as Joseph obtained, and we may
have them in a higher sense. Oh, for "the precious things of heaven!"
Power with God, and the manifestation of power from God, are most precious. We
would enjoy the peace of God, the joy of the Lord, the glory of our God. The
benediction of the three divine Persons in love, and grace, and fellowship we
prize beyond the most fine gold. The things of earth are as nothing in
preciousness compared with the things of Heaven.
"The dew." How precious is this! How we pray and
praise, when we have the dew! What refreshing, what growth, what perfume, what
life there is in us when the dew is about! Above all things else, as plants of
the Lord’s own right hand planting, we need the dew of His Holy Spirit.
"The deep that coucheth beneath." Surely this
refers to that unseen ocean underground which supplies all the fresh springs
which make glad the earth. Oh to tap the eternal fountains! This is an
unspeakable boon; let no believer rest till he possesses it. The
all-sufficiency of Jehovah is ours forever. Let us resort to it now.
Thought’s for the Quiet Hour
Go and sit down in the lowest room
Luke 14:10
He who is willing to take the lowest place will always find
sitting room; there is no great crush for the worst places. There is nothing
like the jostling at the back that there is at the front; so if we would be
comfortable, we shall do well to keep behind.
