BOB JONES BOB JONES GREENVILLE. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2). This verse is from the Psalm entitled, A Song of Degrees. There is no degree to Gods mercy or redemption; He is plenteous in both (Psalm 86:5; 103:7). There is no degree to His love, for we cannot determine the length, the breadth, the height, nor the depth of His love Gods (Ephesians 3:17-19- ). wisdom, strength, power, understanding, greatness, holiness, justice, faithfulness all the divine attributes are beyond measure (I Samuel 2:2; Job 9:19; 147:3, 5; 12:13; Psalm II Timothy 2:13). As day unto day utters speech and night unto night shows knowledge (Psalm 19:2), so daily, as we listen to the music of the spheres, observe the heavenly lights, and behold the beauties of the earth, we are reminded of the God Who not only made heaven and earth, but Who also spreads His University 2M14 SOUTH CAROLINA mercy with the heights above. And this God promises to be with us every moment of every day of every year and throughout all eternity (Matthew 28:20). One of the worst blasphemies abroad today is the carte blanche, Something good is going to happen to you. If you are a Christian walking in Gods will for your life, all things will work together for your good (Romans 8:28). Nothing good will God withhold from them that walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11), But to the enemies of Gods grace something bad can happen. O, God makes His sun to shine on the evil and the good and His rain to fall upon the just and the un- just (Matthew 5:45); but per-sonall- y, Gods children who have laid claim to His mercies and by faith have become joint heirs with Jesus Christ will find that whatever comes from Gods hand or is allowed by Him is for their good. . |
