THIS does not mean that He will give us all we ask; for, alas! we are but poor judges of what is best for us. Not every wish shall be fulfilled, but every real requirement will be met. God is the bountiful Provider; “No good thing will he with hold from them that walk uprightly.” The Greek of our text is much more expressive than the English: “My God shall fill up all your n e e d t h e provision shall not be scanty; we shall “lack nothing” that is necessary for our temporal or spiritual Well being. There can be no question as to the sufficiency of the supply, for it is to be “according to his riches in glory;” all the wealth of Divinity is to be drawn upon for the purpose of our endowment. The bank of heaven must break, the throne of God must fall, ere the need of the Christian can go unmet. We say “of the Christian,” for, be it noted, this is not a prom ise to the worldling—let him supply his own need, if he can-p but to the child of God. The bounty is to come to us “by Christ J e s u s i n Him, and in Him alone, is our every need supplied. “My God shall supply all your need!” What a glor ious assurance. What rest and peace come to those who lay hold upon it. “Be not faithless, but believing!” “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” — Jno. 14:9. “THE human heart longs for a vision of God.” Well, behold Him! Gaze at the Rabbi of Nazareth. Follow Him as He goes about “doing good.” See Him as He heals the leper, and gives sight to the blind, and feeds the hungry and raises the dead. Listen to His tender accents as He comforts the mourner, or speaks words of hope and pardon to the sinful soul. Behold Him as He blesses the little children; as He weeps over the sins and sorrows of mankind; as- He .shares their social joys; as He provides for their entertainment. Hearken to His gracious words of invitation. Look at Him as He sacrifices Himself for the salvation of the world. THAT IS GOD! Ask no more for a wider vision of the Deity; there is no more to see. He and the Father are one t one in essence, one in purpose, one in thought, one in method—he that hath seen Christ, hath seen the Father. If you would have feared Jesus of Nazareth, then be afraid of God; if you-could not have trusted Him, then distrust JEHOVAH; but do not imagine that there is any difference between the two. “He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father;” happy for us if we believe i t : “Ask not how, but trust Him still; Ask not when, but wait His will; Simply on His word rely, God ‘shall’ all your need supply.” , I m J une 16.

NOT a handsome face, probably, as men count beauty. Somewhat too old and careworn; with His visage “so marred;” looking nearly fifty when He was only thirty-three (x) : no beauty there, that men, as men, should desire Him. Yet in that somewhat unlovely face the eye of faith beholds “the light of the glory of God.” For the lack of loveliness is due to that (x) See Jno. 8:57.
