PSALM 35

TEHILLIM 35

27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Yahweh be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Morning will come at last

It may sometimes be as it was with the children of Israel when Moses first demanded of Pharaoh to let them go. Their burdens were increased, and their afflictions at the hand of the taskmaster were so intensified as the result of Moses' interference, that when Moses comforted them with the prospect of release,

"they hearkened not unto him for anguish of spirit."

The prospect of the Lord's coming has so long been a matter of faith and hope, and has yet done nothing for us so far as material results are concerned but embarrass our temporal relations, that we may, in the anguish of spirit, refuse the comfort of the promise, and say with Israel,

"Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians."

Let us be aware of this propensity. "Though the vision tarry," saith the Spirit,

"wait for it. It will surely come. At the end it will speak and not lie."

He that endureth to the end the same shall be saved. Blessed are those servants whom their Lord when he cometh shall find watching. The moment will come when our watching will be over, and when the announcement will ring through all ecclesias, penetrating even to the sleeping dust and waking a multitude of the dead,

"Christ has come at last."
