Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word. Psalm 119:6565TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word. (Psalm 119:65)
SA 104:28{CO 17:19{SA 119:65{His hand, His heart, His word-what an immeasurable measure of His bounty! The great hand that holds the ocean in its hollow is opened to satisfy our desire, and to go beyond that exceeding abundantly, giving us according to the heart that so loved the world, and according to the word which is so deep and full that all the saints that ever drew their hope and joy from it cannot fathom its ever-upspringing fountain. Perhaps nobody knows the Bible well enough to know the full significance of saying, "Be it unto me according to Thy word"; how much less can we imagine what shall be the yet unrevealed royal bounty according to His heart of infinite love and hand of infinite power. "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter." "And ye shall... be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you.”
Great our need, but greater far, is our Father's loving power;
He upholds each mighty star, He unfolds each tiny flower.
He who numbers every hair, earnest of His faithful care,
Gave His Son for us to die; God shall all your need supply.
