Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw his hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the oil shall flow. He is a sun ever-shining; He is manna always falling round the camp; He is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life from His smitten side; the rain of His grace is always dropping; the river of His bounty is ever-flowing, and the well-spring of His love is constantly overflowing.
As the King can never be defeated, so His grace can never fail. Daily, we pluck His fruit, and daily, His branches bend down to our hand with a fresh store of mercy. Who has ever returned from God’s house unblessed. Who has ever risen from His table unsatisfied? His mercies are new every morning and fresh every evening. Who can know the number of His benefits, or recount the list of His bounties. The wings of our hours are covered with the silver of his kindness, and with the yellow gold of His affection.
How shall my soul extol him who daily loadeth us with benefits, and who crowneth us with loving-kindness. O that my praise could be as ceaseless as His bounty!
1 Timothy 6:17
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
