    They did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

    Joshua 5:12

    Israels weary wanderings were all over, and the promised rest was attained. No more movingtents, fiery serpents, fierce Amalekites, and howling wildernesses: they came to the land whichflowed with milk and honey, and they ate the old corn of the land. Perhaps this year, belovedChristian reader, this may be thy case or mine. Joyful is the prospect, and if faith be in activeexercise, it will yield unalloyed delight. To be with Jesus in the rest which remaineth for the peopleof God, is a cheering hope indeed, and to expect this glory so soon is a double bliss. Unbeliefshudders at the Jordan which still rolls between us and the goodly land, but let us rest assured thatwe have already experienced more ills than death at its worst can cause us. Let us banish everyfearful thought, and rejoice with exceeding great joy, in the prospect that this year we shall beginto be for ever with the Lord.

    A part of the host will this year tarry on earth, to do service for their Lord. If this should fall toour lot, there is no reason why the New Years text should not still be true. We who have believeddo enter into rest. The Holy Spirit is the earnest of our inheritance; he gives us glory begunbelow. In heaven they are secure, and so are we preserve in Christ Jesus; there they triumph overtheir enemies, and we have victories too. Celestial spirits enjoy communion with their Lord, andthis is not denied to us; they rest in his love, and we have perfect peace in him: they hymn his praise,and it is our privilege to bless him too. We will this year gather celestial fruits on earthly ground,where faith and hope have made the desert like the garden of the Lord. Man did eat angels foodof old, and why not now? O for grace to feed on Jesus, and so to eat of the fruit of the land ofCanaan this year!

  • We will be glad and rejoice in thee. We will not open the gates of the year to the dolorous notesof the sackbut, but to the sweet strains of the harp of joy, and the high sounding cymbals of gladness.O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise unto the rock of our salvation. We,the called and faithful and chosen, we will drive away our griefs, and set up our banners of confidencein the name of God. Let others lament over their troubles, we who have the sweetening tree to castinto Marahs bitter pool, with joy will magnify the Lord. Eternal Spirit, our effectual Comforter,we who are the temples in which thou dwellest, will never cease from adoring and blessing thename of Jesus. We will, we are resolved about it, Jesus must have the crown of our hearts delight;we will not dishonour our Bridegroom by mourning in his presence. We are ordained to be theminstrels of the skies, let us rehearse our everlasting anthem before we sing it in the halls of theNew Jerusalem. We will be glad and rejoice : two words with one sense, double joy, blessednessupon blessedness. Need there be any limit to our rejoicing in the Lord even now? Do not men ofgrace find their Lord to be camphire and spikenard, calamus and cinnamon even now, and whatbetter fragrance have they in heaven itself? We will be glad and rejoice in Thee . That last word isthe meat in the dish, the kernel of the nut, the soul of the text. What heavens are laid up in Jesus!What rivers of infinite bliss have their source, aye, and every drop of their fulness in him! Since,O sweet Lord Jesus, thou art the present portion of thy people, favour us this year with such a senseof thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in thee. Let Januaryopen with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.

    Continue in prayer.

    Colossians 4:2

    It is interesting to remark how large a portion of Sacred Writ is occupied with the subject ofprayer, either in furnishing examples, enforcing precepts, or pronouncing promises. We scarcelyopen the Bible before we read, Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord; and just aswe are about to close the volume, the Amen of an earnest supplication meets our ear. Instancesare plentiful. Here we find a wrestling Jacobthere a Daniel who prayed three times a dayanda David who with all his heart called upon his God. On the mountain we see Elias; in the dungeonPaul and Silas. We have multitudes of commands, and myriads of promises. What does this teachus, but the sacred importance and necessity of prayer? We may be certain that whatever God hasmade prominent in his Word, he intended to be conspicuous in our lives. If he has said much aboutprayer, it is because he knows we have much need of it. So deep are our necessities, that until weare in heaven we must not cease to pray. Dost thou want nothing? Then, I fear thou dost not knowthy poverty. Hast thou no mercy to ask of God? Then, may the Lords mercy show thee thy misery!A prayerless soul is a Christless soul. Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of thefighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus. It is the breath, thewatchword, the comfort, the strength, the honour of a Christian. If thou be a child of God, thou wilt

  • seek thy Fathers face, and live in thy Fathers love. Pray that this year thou mayst be holy, humble,zealous, and patient; have closer communion with Christ, and enter oftener into the banqueting-houseof his love. Pray that thou mayst be an example and a blessing unto others, and that thou mayst livemore to the glory of thy Master. The motto for this year must be, Continue in prayer.

    Let the people renew their strength.

    Isaiah 41:1

    All things on earth need to be renewed. No created thing continueth by itself. Thou renewestthe face of the year, was the Psalmists utterance. Even the trees, which wear not themselves withcare, nor shorten their lives with labour, must drink of the rain of heaven and suck from the hiddentreasures of the soil. The cedars of Lebanon, which God has planted, only live because day by daythey are full of sap fresh drawn from the earth. Neither can mans life be sustained without renewalfrom God. As it is necessary to repair the waste of the body by the frequent meal, so we must repairthe waste of the soul by feeding upon the Book of God, or by listening to the preached Word, orby the soul-fattening table of the ordinances. How depressed are our graces when means areneglected! What poor starvelings some saints are who live without the diligent use of the Word ofGod and secret prayer! If our piety can live without God it is not of divine creating; it is but a dream;for if God had begotten it, it would wait upon him as the flowers wait upon the dew. Withoutconstant restoration we are not ready for the perpetual assaults of hell, or the stern afflictions ofheaven, or even for the strifes within. When the whirlwind shall be loosed, woe to the tree that hathnot sucked up fresh sap, and grasped the rock with many intertwisted roots. When tempests arise,woe to the mariners that have not strengthened their mast, nor cast their anchor, nor sought thehaven. If we suffer the good to grow weaker, the evil will surely gather strength and struggledesperately for the mastery over us; and so, perhaps, a painful desolation, and a lamentable disgracemay follow. Let us draw near to the footstool of divine mercy in humble entreaty, and we shallrealize the fulfilment of the promise, They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.

  • Jesus Christ is himself the sum and substance of the covenant, and as one of its gifts. He is theproperty of every believer. Believer, canst thou estimate what thou hast gotten in Christ? In himdwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Consider that word God and its infinity, andthen meditate upon perfect man and all his beauty; for all that Christ, as God and man, ever had,or can have, is thineout of pure free favour, passed over to thee to be thine entailed propertyforever. Our blessed Jesus, as God, is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. Will it not consoleyou to know that all these great and glorious attributes are altogether yours? Has he power? Thatpower is yours to support and strengthen you, to overcome your enemies, and to preserve you evento the end. Has he love? Well, there is not a drop of love in his heart which is not yours; you maydive into the immense ocean of his love, and you may say of it all, It is mine. Hath he justice? Itmay seem a stern attribute, but even that is yours, for he will by his justice see to it that all whichis promised to you in the covenant of grace shall be most certainly secured to you. And all that hehas as perfect man is yours. As a perfect man the Fathers delight was upon him. He stood acceptedby the Most High. O believer, Gods acceptance of Christ is thine acceptance; for knowest thounot that the love which the Father set on a perfect Christ, he sets on thee now? For all that Christdid is thine. That perfect righteousness which Jesus wrought out, when through his stainless lifehe kept the law and made it honourable, is thine, and is imputed to thee. Christ is in the covenant.

    My God, I am thinewhat a comfort divine!What a blessing to know that the Saviour is mine!In the heavenly Lamb thrice happy I am,And my heart it doth dance at the sound of his name.

    The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

    Luke 3:4

    The voice crying in the wilderness demanded a way for the Lord, a way prepared, and a wayprepared in the wilderness. I would be attentive to the Masters proclamation, and give him a roadinto my heart, cast up by gracious operations, through the desert of my nature. The four directionsin the text must have my serious attention.

    Every valley must be exalted. Low and grovelling thoughts of God must be given up; doubtingand despairing must be removed; and self-seeking and carnal delights must be forsaken. Acrossthese deep valleys a glorious causeway of grace must be raised.

    Every mountain and hill shall be laid low. Proud creature-sufficiency, and boastfulself-righteousness, must be levelled, to make a highway for the King of kings. Divine fellowshipis never vouchsafed to haughty, highminded sinners. The Lord hath respect unto the lowly, andvisits the contrite in heart, but the lofty are an abomination unto him. My soul, beseech the HolySpirit to set thee right in this respect.

  • The crooked shall be made straight. The wavering heart must have a straight path of decisionfor God and holiness marked out for it. Double-minded men are strangers to the God of truth. Mysoul, take heed that thou be in all things honest and true, as in the sight of the heart-searching God.

    The rough places shall be made smooth. Stumbling-blocks of sin must be removed, and thornsand briers of rebellion must be uprooted. So great a visitor must not find miry ways and stony placeswhen he comes to honour his favoured ones with his company. Oh that this evening the Lord mayfind in my heart a highway made ready by his grace, that he may make a triumphal progress throughthe utmost bounds of my soul, from the beginning of this year even to the end of it.

    Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    2 Peter 3:18

    Grow in gracenot in one grace only, but in all grace. Grow in that root-grace, faith. Believethe promises more firmly than you have done. Let faith increase in fulness, constancy, simplicity.Grow also in love. Ask that your love may become extended, more intense, more practical,influencing every thought, word, and deed. Grow likewise in humility. Seek to lie very low, andknow more of your own nothingness. As you grow downward in humility, seek also to grow upwardhaving nearer approaches to God in prayer and more intimate fellowship with Jesus. May Godthe Holy Spirit enable you to grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour. He who grows notin the knowledge of Jesus, refuses to be blessed. To know him is life eternal, and to advance inthe knowledge of him is to increase in happiness. He who does not long to know more of Christ,knows nothing of him yet. Whoever hath sipped this wine will thirst for more, for although Christdoth satisfy, yet it is such a satisfaction, that the appetite is not cloyed, but whetted. If you knowthe love of Jesusas the hart panteth for the water-brooks, so will you pant after deeper draughtsof his love. If you do not desire to know him better, then you love him not, for love always cries,Nearer, nearer. Absence from Christ is hell; but the presence of Jesus is heaven. Rest not thencontent without an increasing acquaintance with Jesus. Seek to know more of him in his divinenature, in his human relationship, in his finished work, in his death, in his resurrection, in his presentglorious intercession, and in his future royal advent. Abide hard by the Cross, and search the mysteryof his wounds. An increase of love to Jesus, and a more perfect apprehension of his love to us isone of the best tests of growth in grace.

  • And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

    Genesis 42:8

    This morning our desires went forth for growth in our acquaintance with the Lord Jesus; it maybe well to-night to consider a kindred topic, namely, our heavenly Joseph's knowledge of us. Thiswas most blessedly perfect long before we had the slightest knowledge of him. His eyes beheldour substance, yet being imperfect, and in his book all our members were written, when as yet therewas none of them. Before we had a being in the world we had a being in his heart. When we wereenemies to him, he knew us, our misery, our madness, and our wickedness. When we wept bitterlyin despairing repentance, and viewed him only as a judge and a ruler, he viewed us as his brethrenwell beloved, and his bowels yearned towards us. He never mistook his chosen, but always beheldthem as objects of his infinite affection. The Lord knoweth them that are his, is as true of theprodigals who are feeding swine as of the children who sit at the table.

    But, alas! we knew not our royal Brother, and out of this ignorance grew a host of sins. Wewithheld our hearts from him, and allowed him no entrance to our love. We mistrusted him, andgave no credit to his words. We rebelled against him, and paid him no loving homage. The Sun ofRighteousness shone forth, and we could not see him. Heaven came down to earth, and earthperceived it not. Let God be praised, those days are over with us; yet even now it is but little thatwe know of Jesus compared with what he knows of us. We have but begun to study him, but heknoweth us altogether. It is a blessed circumstance that the ignorance is not on his side, for then itwould be a hopeless case for us. He will not say to us, I never knew you, but he will confess ournames in the day of his appearing, and meanwhile will manifest himself to us as he doth not u
