"Pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved."

"Pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved."

—Song of Solomon 7:13.

THE spouse desires to give to Jesus all that she produces. 

Our heart has "all manner of pleasant fruits," 

both "old and new," and they are laid up for our Beloved. 

At this rich autumnal season of fruit, let us survey our stores.

 We have new fruits. 

We desire to feel new life, new joy, new gratitude; we wish to make new resolves and carry them out by new labours; our heart blossoms with new prayers, 

and our soul is pledging herself to new efforts.

 But we have some old fruits too. There is our first love: a choice fruit that! and Jesus delights in it. There is our first faith: that simple faith by which, having nothing, 

we became possessors of all things. 

There is our joy when first we knew the Lord: let us revive it. 

We have our old remembrances of the promises.

 How faithful has God been!

 In sickness, how softly did He make our bed! 

In deep waters, how placidly did He buoy us up!

 In the flaming furnace, how graciously did He deliver us. 

Old fruits, indeed! 

We have many of them, for His mercies have been more than the hairs of our head. 

Old sins we must regret, but then we have had repentances which He has given us, by which we have wept our way to the cross, and learned the merit of His blood. 

We have fruits, this morning, both new and old; 

but here is the point—they are all laid up for Jesus. 

Truly, those are the best and most acceptable services in which Jesus is the solitary aim of the soul, and His glory, without any admixture whatever, the end of all our efforts. 

Let our many fruits be laid up only for our Beloved; let us display them when He is with us, and not hold them up before the gaze of men. 

Jesus, we will turn the key in our garden door, and none shall enter to rob Thee of one good fruit from the soil which Thou hast watered with Thy bloody sweat.

 Our all shall be Thine, Thine only, O Jesus, our Beloved!

"Sing forth the honour of His name, make His praise glorious."

"Sing forth the honour of His name, make His praise glorious."—Psalm 66:2.

IT is not left to our own option whether we shall praise God or not. 

Praise is God's most righteous due, and every Christian, as the recipient of His grace, is bound to praise God from day to day. 

It is true we have no authoritative rubric for daily praise; we have no commandment prescribing certain hours of song and thanksgiving: but the law written upon the heart teaches us that it is right to praise God; and the unwritten mandate comes to us with as much force as if it had been recorded on the tables of stone, or handed to us from the top of thundering Sinai. 

Yes, it is the Christian's duty to praise God.

 It is not only a pleasurable exercise, but it is the absolute obligation of his life. 

Think not ye who are always mourning, that ye are guiltless in this respect, or imagine that ye can discharge your duty to your God without songs of praise. 

You are bound by the bonds of His love to bless His name so long as you live, and His praise should continually be in your mouth, for you are blessed, in order that you may bless Him; "this people have I formed for myself, they shall show forth my praise"; and if you do not praise God, you are not bringing forth the fruit which He, as the Divine Husbandman, has a right to expect at your hands. 

Let not your harp then hang upon the willows, but take it down, and strive, with a grateful heart, to bring forth its loudest music. 

Arise and chant His praise.

 With every morning's dawn, lift up your notes of thanksgiving, and let every setting sun be followed with your song.

 Girdle the earth with your praises; surround it with an atmosphere of melody, and God Himself will hearken from heaven and accept your music.

"E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing,
Because Thou art my loving God,
And my redeeming King."

Not yet attained!

Not yet attained!

Any notion of our own attainments which could lead us for a moment to speak of what we are with any degree of complacency is only rubbish. For my own part, I desire constantly to stand at the foot of the cross, with no other testimony concerning myself than this-

“I the chief of sinners am, 
But Jesus died for me.” 

Personal holiness is to be sought for with all our hearts, and it can only be obtained by faith in Jesus Christ — by simple faith in him. He gives us power to overcome sin through his precious blood; but, depend upon it, the moment we conclude that we have overcome, and can say what Paul could not say — that he had attained and was already perfect — we are in an evil case. Our pride has overpowered our judgment, and we are fools.

Come just as you are.

"Behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague."—Leviticus 13:13.

STRANGE enough this regulation appears, yet there was wisdom in it, for the throwing out of the disease proved that the constitution was sound. 

This morning it may be well for us to see the typical teaching of so singular a rule. 

We, too, are lepers, and may read the law of leper as applicable to ourselves. 

When a man sees himself to be altogether lost and ruined, covered all over with the defilement of sin, and no part free from pollution; when he disclaims all righteousness of his own, and pleads guilty before the Lord, then is he clean through the blood of Jesus, and the grace of God.

 Hidden, unfelt, unconfessed iniquity is the true leprosy, but when sin is seen and felt it has received its death blow, and the Lord looks with eyes of mercy upon the soul afflicted with it.

 Nothing is more deadly than self-righteousness, or more hopeful than contrition.

 We must confess that we are "nothing else but sin," for no confession short of this will be the whole truth, and if the Holy Spirit be at work with us, convincing us of sin, there will be no difficulty about making such an acknowledgment—it will spring spontaneously from our lips. 

What comfort does the text afford to those under a deep sense of sin! 

Sin mourned and confessed, however black and foul, shall never shut a man out from the Lord Jesus. 

Whosoever cometh unto Him, He will in no wise cast out. 

Though dishonest as the thief, though unchaste as the woman who was a sinner, though fierce as Saul of Tarsus, though cruel as Manasseh, though rebellious as the prodigal, the great heart of love will look upon the man who feels himself to have no soundness in him, and will pronounce him clean, when he trusts in Jesus crucified.

 Come to Him, then, poor heavy-laden sinner,

Come needy, come guilty, come loathsome and bare; 

You can't come too filthy—come just as you are.

1 Thessalonians 4:14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again !!!

1 Thessalonians 4:14  

We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him....... 

Thoughts on This Verse... 

Jesus' resurrection was just the beginning!

His resurrection means that those of us who have faith in him,

who trust in the Father that raised him from the dead,

can have confidence that those who belong to him,

whether they are living or dead when he comes,

will also share in his victory over death.

"The Lord looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men."

"The Lord looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men."—Psalm 33:13.

PERHAPS no figure of speech represents God in a more gracious light than when He is spoken of as stooping from His throne, and coming down from heaven to attend to the wants and to behold the woes of mankind. 

We love Him, who, when Sodom and Gomorrah were full of iniquity, 

would not destroy those cities until He had made a personal visitation of them. 

We cannot help pouring out our heart in affection for our Lord who inclines His ear from the highest glory, and puts it to the lip of the dying sinner, whose failing heart longs after reconciliation.

 How can we but love Him when we know that He numbers the very hairs of our heads, marks our path, and orders our ways?

 Specially is this great truth brought near to our heart, when we recollect how attentive He is, not merely to the temporal interests of His creatures, but to their spiritual concerns. 

Though leagues of distance lie between the finite creature and the infinite Creator, yet there are links uniting both. 

When a tear is wept by thee, think not that God doth not behold; for, 

"Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him." 

Thy sigh is able to move the heart of Jehovah; thy whisper can incline His ear unto thee; thy prayer can stay His hand; thy faith can move His arm. 

Think not that God sits on high taking no account of thee. 

Remember that however poor and needy thou art, yet the Lord thinketh upon thee. 

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards Him.

Oh! then repeat the truth that never tires; 

No God is like the God my soul desires; 

He at whose voice heaven trembles,

 even He, Great as He is, knows how to stoop to me.

Romans 6:15 -- What then?

Romans 6:15.

What then? 

Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace?

 By no means!......

 Thoughts on This Verse... 

This matching verse to Romans 6:1-2, 

is the great reminder that sin is no longer our master and no longer our choice. 

We choose to live for God with every fiber of our being and loathe the life of sin that once held us in bondage to death and defeat.

Psalm 121

Psalm 121

New King James Version (NKJV)

Psalm 121

 ¹ I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
         From whence comes my help?

 ² My help comes from the LORD,
         Who made heaven and earth.
        
 ³ He will not allow your foot to be moved;
         He who keeps you will not slumber.

 ⁴ Behold, He who keeps Israel
         Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
        
 ⁵ The LORD is your keeper;
         The LORD is your shade at your right hand.

 ⁶ The sun shall not strike you by day,
         Nor the moon by night.
        
 ⁷ The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
         He shall preserve your soul.

 ⁸ The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
         From this time forth, and even forevermore.

ALELUYA !!!

PRAISES TO OUR MARVELOUS GOD AND LORD !!!

A men like me !!!

A MAN LIKE ME  !!!

On him the shower pelted down, and wetted his garments; 

and on him the burning sun poured forth its undiminished heat. 

Upon his sacred person on the lone mountain-side, the dews descended till his head was wet with them, and his locks with the drops of the night.

 For him there were poverty, and hunger, and thirst, reproach, slanders and treachery. 

For him the sea tossed the barque as it will for you; and for him the land yielded thorn and thistle, as it does to you.

 He suffered, he ate, he toiled, he rested, he wept, and he rejoiced, even as you do, sin alone excepted.

 A real kinsman was he, not in fiction, but in substantial reality.

Are you man? Jesus was a man. 

Do not doubt it. 

Do not look at your Lord as standing up there on a pinnacle of superior nature, 

where you cannot come near him, but view him as your own flesh and blood,

 “a brother born for adversity.”

From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "The Matchless Mystery," delivered.
