His power is great, and who can withstand it? He has
promised to answer the prayer of faith, that is put up in his Son's
name: 'Ask what ye will, it shall be granted you.' How this should
strengthen our faith, when we are taught by the Word and the Spirit
how to pray! O that sweet inspiring hope! how it lifts up the
fainting spirits, when we look over the precious promises of God! What
a mercy if we know Christ, and the power of his resurrection in our
own hearts! Through faith in Christ we rejoice in hope, and look in
expectation of that time drawing near, when all shall know and fear
the Lord, and when a nation shall be born in a day.
"What a happy time when Christ's kingdom shall come! then shall 'his
will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.' Men shall be daily fed
with the manna of his love, and delight themselves in the Lord all the
day long. Then, what a paradise below they will enjoy! How it
animates and enlivens my soul with vigour to pursue the ways of God,
that I may even now bear some humble part in giving glory to God and
the Lamb!
