Power belongeth unto God.—Psalms 62:11.

DO I rejoice to ascribe power to God, and to feel that he is almighty, both as the Sovereign of the universe, and as the God of grace? Is not his power a sufficient reason why I should trust him, and feel my dependence on him, and ask his aid in every difficulty, knowing that he is willing as well as able to do all things for the good of them that love and trust him?

All things and beings, all that life makes known or death conceals, everything within the boundless possibilities of creating wisdom and power, is mine, for God, the almighty Creator and Fountain of all, is mine.—J. CAIRD.

We need keeping, for we are weak, wayward, and prone to wander. God will have us kept, and kept surely; and so he keeps us himself. With his everlasting arms beneath me, I am for ever safe.—J. SMITH.

Let us heartily rejoice in the Strength of our salvation, and go boldly in the way of his laws, and seek safety under the shadow of his wing. And let us put our cause into the hand of that great Advocate, who is able to save to the uttermost all that come to him.

And can the almighty King Of glory condescend?

And will he write his name, My Father and my Friend?

I love his name; I love his word;

Join all my powers to serve the Lord.
