OUR GOD IS THE GOD OF ALL RESOURCE. In Him all our needs are fully met. Many things threaten to lure or drive us away from Jesus! But we need not depart from Him; He has everything we can possibly want, for body or soul, for time or eternity. He gives grace and glory, and no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. Having called us, and drawn us to Himself, He wishes us to abide in Him; and if tempted to leave Him, to whom shall we go? He alone can supply every want, sanctify every trial, enable us to overcome every difficulty, and make us perfect in His perfect will. The world will allure, Satan will tempt and inward depravity will prompt you to wander; but keep near to Jesus this day; think of Him, look to Him, call upon Him, converse with Him; make Him your companion, Friend, and God. There is no real happiness, or lasting peace, but in the presence and person of Jesus; and when He gives quietness none can take it away. If you wander, if you look to others, if you set your affection on anything below, you are doing yourself immense injustice, for you need not depart from a Saviour most kind. He is all, He has all, He will give all. You have only to believe His word and your wants shall all be perfectly fulfilled.

For Meditation:
O let us ever walk in Him,
And nothing know beside;
Nothing desire, nor aught esteem,
But Jesus crucified.
