The eye of Divine love
Exodus 3:7, “Then the Lord told Moses:
You can be sure I have seen the misery of My people in Egypt.
I have heard their cries for deliverance from their harsh slave drivers.
Yes, I am concerned about their suffering.”
Exquisite tenderness melts in these words.
Assurance of compassion most sweetly stated.
Let no believer faint in the hour of trial.
His feet may travel in affliction’s road.
He may be called to lie on the hard couch of sorrow.
Troubles may roll over him as wave upon wave.
But the eye of Divine love ever watches him,
the heart of Divine love ever throbs sympathetically for him,
the ear of Divine love ever listens to his cry,
the hand of Divine love will in due season be outstretched to help him.
The patient sufferer will sing with David in Psalm 18:19,
“He led me to a place of safety;
He rescued me because He delights in me.”

Something to ponder
Henry Scougal, 1650-1678:
“Humility is a deep sense of our own baseness, with a hearty and affectionate acknowledgment of our owing all that we are to the divine bounty; which is always accompanied with a profound submission to the will of God, and great deadness to the glory of the world, and the applause of men.”
