"EVERY ONE SHALL RECEIVE OF THY WORDS." Every believer is a saint; and every saint is attentive to the words of God. We are separated by the purpose of God: sanctified by the operations of the Holy Spirit; set apart for God, and devoted to His service. Every saint is in the hand of Jesus: in the hand of His mercy, in the hand of His power, and in the hand of His providence. The hand of Jesus is large enough to hold all; strong enough to defend all. They are in His hand as His property, purchased by His blood; as His charge, committed to Him by His Father; at His disposal, to do with them as seems good in His sight; under His protection, to be kept from Satan, death, and hell; to be guided through this desert world, to our Father's house above; to be moulded by His skill, and conformed to His own lovely image; to be sheltered from the storm, and preserved from the stormy blast; to be used for His praise, and be lifted up to His eternal throne. They are His saints; He chose them for His bride; He rescued them from the hand of the enemy; He claims them as His right; He made them what they are; and He will glorify them forever.

For Meditation:
Blessed are the saints of God!
They are bought with Jesus' blood;
They are ransomed from the grave,
Life eternal they shall have;
With them numbered may I be,
Now and through eternity!
