Devotional: April 25th
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalms 34:8. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Psalms 103:8. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. Psalms 86:8.
O God of goodness! Thou who hath tasted so "good" to the pious fathers in the tabernacle made with hands and destined to be broken down, how good Thou wilt taste to them who serve Thee in Thy new sanctuary, in spirit and in truth; who serve Thee in the temple not made with stones, but which thou hast erected in our hearts by electing us as Thine eternal abode, by no longer revealing Thy glory in a cloud, but, without cover, in every soul consecrated to Thee in faith and love! It is Thy goodness alone that draweth us to Thee and fixeth our souls on Thee. Otherwise we would lack courage. How would sinners such as we dare to draw near to Thee, near to the holiness and glory of God, if Thy goodness, as a magnet, did not draw us so invitingly unto itself? Everything in us would forbid us to come to Thee: our corrupt and sinful nature would frighten us from so doing. But Thy love and goodness overcometh all and causeth us to forget whom we are; employeth our thoughts with Thee only, and filleth our hearts and minds so completely, that we can no longer remain away; we are too much blessed in praising and loving Thee to resist Thy drawing love or to wound that love which can not be happy without us.
Still let Thy love point out my way;
How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought!
Still lead me, lest I go astray;
Direct my work, inspire my thought;
And if I fall, soon may I hear
Thy voice, and know that love is near.
