Nevertheless I am continually with thee. Thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shall guide me with thy counsel, and afterwards receive me into thy glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee. My flesh and my heart faileth, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever. Psalms 73:23-26. Psalms 16:8.
Babes in religion not only long for Christ, but for sensible communion with him; and very often they are indulged with it, that they may be weaned from the world. But those of fuller age, who have their senses more exercised, are content to have him only, and to be adopted by him; relying more on the word and covenant of God, than upon sweet sensations of the soul, which, in times of trial and temptations, are often wanting.
How oft have sin and Satan strove
To rend my soul from thee, my God?
But everlasting is thy love,
And Jesus seals it with his blood.
Amidst temptations sharp and long,
My soul to this dear refuge flies;
Hope is my anchor, firm and strong,
While tempests blow and billows rise.
The gospel bears my spirits up:
A faithful and unchanging God
Lays the foundation for my hope,
in oaths, and promises, and blood.
