Judge not Christ love by providence but by promises! Here’s the quote I referenced last week in my sermon on Ruth, Chapter 2. Thomas Wilcox…
Do not despair. Hope still. When the clouds are blackest, even then look towards Christ, the standing pillar of the Father’s love and grace, set up in heaven for all sinners to gaze upon continually. Whatever Satan or conscience say, do not conclude against yourself, Christ shall have the last word. He is Judge of quick and dead, and must pronounce the final sentence. His blood speaks reconciliation; cleansing; purchase; redemption; purging; remission; liberty; justification; nearness to God. Not a drop of this blood shall be lost. Stand and hear what God will say, for He will speak peace to His people, that they return no more to folly. He speaks grace, mercy and peace. That is the language of the Father and of Christ. Wait for Christ’s appearing, as the morning star. He shall come as certainly as the morning, as refreshing as the rain.
Judge not Christ’s love by providence, but by promises. Bless God for shaking off false foundations, for any way whereby He keeps the soul awakened and looking after Christ; better sickness and temptations, than security and superficiality.
Can’t you just hear all of creation groaning?! Naomi. Ruth. You and I…waiting, watching, hoping for Christ’s appearing.
