Our Substance Blessed



"Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store" (Deuteronomy 28:5).



Obedience brings a blessing on all the provisions which our industry earns for
us. That which comes in and goes out at once, like fruit in the basket which is
for immediate use, shall be blest; and that which is laid by with us for a
longer season shall equally receive a blessing. Perhaps ours is a hand basket
portion. We have a little for breakfast and a scanty bite for dinner in a
basket when we go out to do our work in the morning. This is well, for the
blessing of God is promised to the basket. If we live from hand to mouth,
getting each day's supply in the day, we are as well off as Israel; for when
the LORD entertained His favored people He only gave them a day's manna at a
time. What more did they need? What more do we need?



But if we have a store, how much we need the LORD to bless it! For there is the
care of getting, the care of keeping, the care of managing, the care of using;
and, unless the LORD bless it, these cares will eat into our hearts till our
goods become our gods and our cares prove cankers.



O LORD, bless our substance. Enable us to use it for Thy glory. Help us to keep
worldly things in their proper places, and never may our savings endanger the
saving of our souls.

Heaven. Rev. 7. 15-17; 2 Cor. 5. 1; Heb. 6. 20

1 Ye souls that trust in Christ, rejoice;

Your sins are all forgiven;

Let every Christian lift his voice,

And sing the joys of heaven.



2 Heaven is that holy, happy place,

Where sin no more defiles;

Where God unveils his blissful face,

And looks, and loves, and smiles;



3 [Where Jesus, Son of man and God,

Triumphant from his wars,

Walks in rich garments, dipped in blood,

And shows his glorious scars;]



4 [Where ransomed sinners sound God's praise

The angelic host among;

Sing the rich wonders of his grace,

And Jesus leads the song;]



5 [Where saints are free from every load

Of passions, or of pains;

God dwells in them, and they in God;

And love for ever reigns.]



6 Lord, as thou show'st thy glory there,

Make known thy grace to us;

And heaven will not be wanting here

While we can hymn thee thus:



7 Jesus, our dear Redeemer, died

That we might be forgiven;

Rose that we might be justified,

And sends the Spirit from heaven.
