John Gossner's Treasury
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew 28:18. The Lord hath prepared his throne In the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. Psalms 103:19. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. Psalms 123:1.
When we add this to all the other glorious promises which the Lord has given concerning His ascension, our comfort and joy are complete. His love and faithfulness, His favor and grace, are immeasurable as we know from all His promises. But the same is true in regard to His power and greatness. His rule and dominion. We should no more doubt His ability than His willingness. God is the self-sufficient, almighty, all-directing love and mercy. Who is like unto Him? Who can be against us when He is for us? Who can stand against Him? Who can curse us when He blesses us? No matter how high He is exalted above all things, yet He sees the worm in the dust. Why, then, should He not look down to those who pray in confidence, to pious hearts whom He has purchased with His blood? How can He, who does not overlook anything, be able to overlook those who longingly look up to Him and trust in Him with all their heart? Dear heart, only turn to Him. His eye shall not overlook you. When the eye of almighty love looks down upon you, what do you fear?
He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
