Meditations on the Twenty-Third Psalm [Paperback]

About This Product

A classic.

Excerpt: “And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?" Ex. 15:24. And what. we may ask, could the man Moses do in such a state of things? Only, as before said, LOOK UP. "And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet." Ex. 15:25. Thus the Lord sweetens the bitter waters. It was not their murmurings that sweetened them, nor any means of their own devising, but the Lord's own remedy and applied according to His own directions. He only can sweeten the bitter cup, but He always can and He always does— blessed be His name. Better have a bitter cup and the Lord to sweeten it, than have no bitter cup at all; better far be cast, bound hand and foot, into the fiery furnace and have the honor and blessing of walking there, in perfect liberty, with "the Son of God" (Dan. 3:25), than be saved from going into the furnace. Oh, what a field, my soul, for meditation, is the rich field of experience! Like the hind let loose, roam through it and feed in it. Shepherds tell us that "variety of pasture is good for the flocks"! And sure thou art that to be occupied with only a part of God's Word, and not with the whole, is to see only one side of the truth and not the truth of God generally. It is thus that many become narrow and confused in their views, and faulty in their faith and practice. In our beautiful and highly instructive Psalm we have the wide, wide field of wilderness life spread out before us.
