"THIS DAY IS SALVATION COME TO THIS HOUSE." For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Our Lord blessed Zacchaeus on that memorable day. That day is special: the day we begin to seek the Lord; the day we decide to be on the Lord's side; the day we publicly and honestly profess Him; the day we heartily engage in His work; the day we return from backsliding, and repent of our sin before Him; the day we identify ourselves with His people. What does the Lord promise? To bless us; He will bless our temporal mercies; He will bless our trials; He will bless our labours; He will bless our families; He will bless us with light, liberty, strength, peace, contentment, and success. Beloved, let us decide for the Lord and always walk in His ways, expect His blessing, for He has given us His word, and confirmed it with a solemn oath. Let us be diligent in the use of all means to advance His Kingdom, constantly looking to Jesus as the only source from which all blessings flow. Plead this precious promise before your God this morning, and many times today; yea, plead it everyday; so shall your peace be like a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea. He will bless you, and you will be a blessing.

For Meditation:
Then let no care perplex me now;
My only wish and care be Thou,
Be Thou my sole delight;
Bid every sigh of rising thought,
And every pant of breath go out
For Jesus day and night.
