All the rivers run into the sea.




All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again."
—Ecclesiastes 1:7.

Everything sublunary is on the move, time knows nothing of rest. 

The solid earth is a rolling ball, and the great sun himself a star obediently fulfilling its course around some greater luminary.

 Tides move the sea, winds stir the airy ocean, friction wears the rock: change and death rule everywhere. 

The sea is not a miser's storehouse for a wealth of waters, for as by one force the waters flow into it, by another they are lifted from it. 

Men are born but to die: everything is hurry, worry, and vexation of spirit.

 Friend of the unchanging Jesus, what a joy it is to reflect upon thy changeless heritage; thy sea of bliss which will be for ever full, since God Himself shall pour eternal rivers of pleasure into it. 

We seek an abiding city beyond the skies, and we shall not be disappointed. 

The passage before us may well teach us gratitude. 


Father Ocean is a great receiver, but he is a generous distributor. 

What the rivers bring him he returns to the earth in the form of clouds and rain. 

That man is out of joint with the universe who takes all but makes no return.

 To give to others is but sowing seed for ourselves. 

He who is so good a steward as to be willing to use his substance for his Lord, shall be entrusted with more. 

Friend of Jesus, art thou rendering to Him according to the benefit received? 

Much has been given thee, what is thy fruit? 
Hast thou done all? 
Canst thou not do more?

 To be selfish is to be wicked.

 Suppose the ocean gave up none of its watery treasure, it would bring ruin upon our race.

 God forbid that any of us should follow the ungenerous and destructive policy of living unto ourselves. Jesus pleased not Himself.

 All fulness dwells in Him, but of His fulness have all we received. 

O for Jesu's spirit, that henceforth we may live not unto ourselves!

She gleaned in the field.




"She gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech."
Ruth 2:3.


Her hap was. 

Yes, it seemed nothing but an accident, but how divinely was it overruled! Ruth had gone forth with her mother's blessing, under the care of her mother's God, to humble but honourable toil, and the providence of God was guiding her every step. 

Little did she know that amid the sheaves she would find a husband, that he should make her the joint owner of all those broad acres, and that she a poor foreigner should become one of the progenitors of the great Messiah.

 God is very good to those who trust in Him, and often surprises them with unlooked for blessings. Little do we know what may happen to us to-morrow, but this sweet fact may cheer us, that no good thing shall be withheld. 

Chance is banished from the faith of Christians, for they see the hand of God in everything. The trivial events of to-day or to-morrow may involve consequences of the highest importance.

 O Lord, deal as graciously with Thy servants as Thou didst with Ruth.

How blessed would it be, if, in wandering in the field of meditation to-night, our hap should be to light upon the place where our next Kinsman will reveal Himself to us! O Spirit of God, guide us to Him. 

We would sooner glean in His field than bear away the whole harvest from any other. 

O for the footsteps of His flock, which may conduct us to the green pastures where He dwells! This is a weary world when Jesus is away—we could better do without sun and moon that without Him—but how divinely fair all things become in the glory of His presence! Our souls know the virtue which dwells in Jesus, and can never be content without Him. 

We will wait in prayer this night until our hap shall be to light on a part of the field belonging to Jesus wherein He will manifest Himself to us.

Profit and loss

GUATEMALA, GUATEMALA. 




Profit and loss

“What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
 Mark 8:36

Suggested Further Reading: 
Luke 12:15-21

Spiritually man is a great trader—he is trading for his own welfare; he is trading for time and for eternity; he keeps two shops: one shop is kept by an apprentice of his, a rough unseemly hand, of clayey mould, called the body; the other business, which is an infinitely more vast concern, is kept by one that is called “the soul” a spiritual being, who does not traffic upon little things, but who deals with hell or heaven, and trades with the mighty realities of eternity. 

Now, a merchant would be very unwise who should pay all attention to some small off-hand shop of his, and take no account whatever of a large establishment. 

And he would, indeed, be negligent, who should very carefully jot down every trifle of the expenditure of his own household, but should never think of reckoning the expenses of some vast concern that may be hanging on his hands. 

But the most of men are just as foolish—they estimate the profits (as they conceive them to be) which are gained in that small corner shop called the body, but they too seldom reckon up the awful loss which is brought about by a negligence of the soul’s concerns in the great matters of eternity. 

Let me beseech you, my brethren, while you are not careless of the body, as, indeed, you ought not to be, seeing that it is, in the case of believers, the temple of the Holy Spirit, to take more especial care of your souls. 

Decorate the tenement, but do not suffer the inhabitant to die of starvation; do not paint the ship while you are letting the crew perish for want of stores on board. 
Look to your soul, as well as to your body; to the life, as well as to that by which you live.

For meditation

We can be so bodily minded that we are no heavenly use

(1 Timothy 4:8 gives the right balance).

Sermon no. 92
7 July (Preached 6 July 1856)
