"I will help thee, sayeth the Lord" (Isaiah 41: 14)
This morning let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us. "It is but a small thing for Me, your God, to help you. Consider what I have done already. What! not help you? Why, I bought you with My blood. I have died for you; and if I have done the greater, will I not do the less? It is the least thing I will ever do for you. I have done more and will do more. Before the world began I chose you. I made the covenant for you. I gave My life for you. If I did all this, I will surely help you now. In helping you, I am giving you what I have bought for you already. If you had need of a thousand times as much help, I would give it to you. You require little compared with what I am ready to give. It is much for you to need, but it is nothing for Me to bestow. Help you? Fear not! If there were an ant at the door of your granary asking for help, it would not ruin you to give him a handful of your wheat. You are nothing but a tiny insect at the door of My all-sufficiency. I will help you." Oh, my soul, is this not enough? Do you need more strength than the omnipotence of the united Trinity? Do you want more wisdom than exists in the Father, more love than displays itself in the Son, or more power than is minifest in the influences of the Spirit? Behold, this river of God is full for your supply. What can you desire beside?
