The Lord will give grace and glory. (Psalm 84:11)

Grace is what we need just now, and it is to be had freely. What can be
freer than a gift? Today we shall receive sustaining, strengthening,
sanctifying, satisfying grace. He has given daily grace until now, and
as for the future, that grace is still sufficient. If we have but little
grace the fault most lie in ourselves; for the Lord is not straitened,
neither is He slow to bestow it in abundance. We may ask for as much as
we will and never fear a refusal. He giveth liberally and upbraideth
not.

The Lord may not give gold, but He will give grace: He may not give
gain, but He will give grace. He will certainly send us trial, but He
will give grace in proportion thereto. We may be called to labor and to
suffer, but with the call there will come all the grace required;

What an "end" is that in the text -- "and glory!" We do not need glory
yet, and we are not yet fit for it; but we shall have it in due order.
After we have eaten the bread of grace, we shall drink the wine of
glory. We must go through the holy, which is grace, to the holiest of
all, which is glory. These words and glory are enough to make a man
dance for joy. A little while -- a little while, and then glory forever!
