The Bible's Supreme Place

"Great peace have they which love Thy Law: and nothing shall offend them"
(Psalm 119:165).(Spurgeon's commentary)

Yes, a true love for the great Book will bring us great peace from the great
God and be a great protection to us. Let us live constantly in the society of
the law of the LORD, and it will breed in our hearts a restfulness such as
nothing else can. The Holy Spirit acts as a Comforter through the Word and
sheds abroad those benign influences which calm the tempests of the soul.
Nothing is a stumbling block to the man who has the Word of God dwelling in him
richly. He takes up his daily cross, and it becomes a delight. For the fiery
trial he is prepared and counts it not strange, so as to be utterly cast down
by it. He is neither stumbled by prosperity -- as so many are -- nor crushed by
adversity -- as others have been -- for he lives beyond the changing
circumstances of external life. When his LORD puts before him some great
mystery of the faith which makes others cry, "This is an hard saying; who can
hear it?" the believer accepts it without question; for his intellectual
difficulties are overcome by his reverent awe of the law of the LORD, which is
to him the supreme authority to which he joyfully bows. LORD, work in us this
love, this peace, this rest, this day.

God the Father of his People. Ps. 103. 13

1 The Lord Jehovah is
Our Father and our Friend;
Immortal majesty is his,
Nor can his glory end.

2 He guards his children well,
Nor shall they starve for want;
When they their needs unto him tell, He'll answer their complaint.

3 He bids his saints draw nigh,
Nor fear to call him theirs;
And, though he reigns enthroned on high, He calls them sons and heirs.

4 His sympathising heart
Feels for them in distress;
And love divine he will impart,
With strength and righteousness.

5 [Though they in darkness walk,
He is their Father still;
And when insulting Ishmaels mock
He will his grace reveal.]

6 [His children he supplies
With food and raiment too;
He with his wisdom makes them wise, And will their strength renew.]

7 Should men and devils try
To make the saints a prey;
The Lord, their Father, still is nigh, To guard them in his way.

8 Through all the scenes of time,
He'll make his goodness known;
His sons, in every age and clime,
His sovereign grace shall own.
