We cannot think how many mercies we have received from him. It would help to keep us in the fear of the Lord all the day long, if, when we wake in the morning, our first thoughts were of him: and how shall we admire and bless our God for his precious salvation, when we awake in the world of glory! Surely we ought not to use our members and senses, which are so curiously fashioned, as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. But our immortal and rational souls are a still more noble work and gift of God. Yet if it were not for his precious thoughts of love to us, our reason and our living for ever would, through our sins, prove the occasion of our eternal misery. How should we then delight to meditate on God's love to sinners in Jesus Christ, the sum of which exceeds all reckoning! Sin is hated, and sinners lamented, by all who fear the Lord. Yet while we shun them we should pray for them; with God their conversion and salvation are possible. As the Lord knows us thoroughly, and we are strangers to ourselves, we should earnestly desire and pray to be searched and proved by his word and Spirit. if there be any wicked way in me, let me see it; and do thou root it out of me. The way of godliness is pleasing to God, and profitable to us; and will end in everlasting life. It is the good old way. All the saints desire to be kept and led in this way, that they may not miss it, turn out of it, or tire in it.Jump to Previous Awake Count End Grains Recount Sand Wake WakedJump to Next Awake Count End Grains Recount Sand Wake WakedLinks Psalm 139:18 NIVPsalm 139:18 NLT Psalm 139:18 ESV Psalm 139:18 NASB Psalm 139:18 KJV Psalm 139:18 Bible Apps Psalm 139:18 Biblia Paralela Psalm 139:18 Chinese Bible Psalm 139:18 French Bible Psalm 139:18 German Bible Alphabetical: am awake count grains I If of outnumber sand should still the them they to Were When with would you OT Poetry: Psalm 139:18 If I would count them they (Psalm Ps Psa.)
