The Mighty Magnet
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12:32.
Come, ye workers, be encouraged. You fear that you cannot draw a congregation. Try the preaching of a crucified, risen, and ascended Savior; for this is the greatest "draw" that was ever yet manifested among men. What drew you to Christ but Christ? What draws you to Him now but His own blessed self? If you have been drawn to religion by anything else, you will soon be drawn away from it; but Jesus has held you and will hold you even to the end. Why, then, doubt His power to draw other? Go with the name of Jesus to those who have hitherto been stubborn and see if it does not draw them.
No sort of man is beyond this drawing power. Old and young, rich and poor, ignorant and learned, depraved or amiable—all men shall feel the attractive force. Jesus is the one magnet. Let us not think of any other. Music will not draw to Jesus, neither will eloquence, logic, ceremonial, or noise. Jesus Himself must draw men to Himself; and Jesus is quite equal to the work in every case. Be not tempted by the quackeries of the day; but as workers for the Lord work in His own way, and draw with the Lord's own cords. Draw to Christ, and draw by Christ, for then Christ will draw by you.
for then Christ will draw by you,
for then Christ will draw by you,
for then Christ... will draw by you

A Covenant He Remembers
He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. Psalm 111:5.
Those who fear God need not fear want. Through all these long years the Lord has always found meat for His own children, whether they have been in the wilderness, or by the brook Cherith, or in captivity, or in the midst of famine. Hitherto the Lord has given us day by day our daily bread, and we doubt not that He will continue to feed us till we want no more.
As to the higher and greater blessings of the covenant of grace, He will never cease to supply them as our case demands. He is mindful that He made the covenant and never acts as if He regretted it. He is mindful of it when we provoke Him to destroy us. He is mindful to love us, keep us, and comfort us, even as He engaged to do. He is mindful of every jot and tittle of His engagements, never suffering one of His words to fall to the ground.
We are sadly unmindful of our God, but He is graciously mindful of us. He cannot forget His Son who is the surety of the covenant, nor His Holy Spirit who actively carries out the covenant, nor His own honor, which is bound up with the covenant. Hence the foundation of God standeth sure, and no believer shall lose his divine inheritance,
which is his by a covenant of salt,
which is his by a covenant of salt,
which is his by a covenant... of salt.

"He aquí te he purificado, y no como a plata; te he escogido en horno de aflicción".
Isaías 48:10.
Este ha sido desde hace mucho tiempo el lema fijado delante de nuestros ojos en la pared de nuestro aposento, y de muchas maneras ha sido escrito también en nuestro corazón.
No es algo insignificante ser elegido por Dios. La elección de Dios convierte a los elegidos en hombres especiales. Es mejor ser elegido por Dios que elegido por una nación entera.
Este privilegio es tan eminente, que aunque viniere acompañado de algún inconveniente, lo aceptaríamos gozosamente, de la misma manera que el judío comía las hierbas amargas que acompañaban al Cordero Pascual. Nosotros escogemos el horno, puesto que Dios nos escoge en él.
Somos escogidos como un pueblo afligido, y no como un pueblo próspero; elegidos, no en el palacio, sino en el horno. En el horno la belleza es desfigurada, la moda es destruida, la fortaleza es derretida, la gloria es consumida, y, sin embargo, aquí el amor eterno revela sus secretos, y declara su escogencia. Así ha sido en nuestro caso.
En tiempos de las más severas pruebas, Dios nos ha hecho claros nuestro llamamiento y elección, y nosotros los hemos hecho firmes: entonces hemos elegido a El Señor para que sea nuestro Dios, y Él ha mostrado que somos ciertamente Sus elegidos.
Por lo tanto, si hoy el horno es calentado siete veces más, no le temeremos, pues el glorioso Hijo de Dios caminará con nosotros en medio de los carbones ardientes.

Sufferers Make Strong Believers
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Lamentations 3:27.
This is as good as a promise. It has been good, it is good, and it will be good for me to bear the yoke.
Early in life I had to feel the weight of conviction, and ever since it has proved a soul-enriching burden. Should I have loved the gospel so well had I not learned by deep experience the need of salvation by grace? Jabez was more honorable than his brethren because his mother bare him with sorrow, and those who suffer much in being born unto God make strong believers in sovereign grace.
The yoke of censure is an irksome one, but it prepares a man for future honor. He is not fit to be a leader who has not run the gauntlet of contempt. Praise intoxicates if it be not preceded by abuse. Men who rise to eminence without struggle usually fall into dishonor.
The yoke of affliction, disappointment, and excessive labor is by no means to be sought for; but when the Lord lays it on us in our youth, it frequently develops a character which glorifies God and blesses the church.
Come, my soul, bow thy neck; take up they cross. It was good for thee when young; it will not harm thee now.
For Jesus' sake, shoulder it carefully,
For Jesus' sake, shoulder it carefully,
For Jesus' sake, ...shoulder it carefully.
