"The happiness of Christ’s exalted state consists, in a great degree, in the pleasure of seeing...?" How might you complete this sentence? Read how one preacher/teacher from the 1700's did finish this sentence in Randy Alcorn's post entitled "Christ's Greatest Joy".


Pray Psalm 114 and worship God for His salvation exploits in human history.


Psalm 114
1 When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.

"Saving Father, we are thankful for Your rescue work on behalf of a people whom You called and loved for Yourself and Your great purposes. We see in Your salvation that nothing can hinder You from accomplishing Your redemptive work - nothing on heaven or on the earth. You will forever be the God of Israel's Exodus and mine. Amen."
