Take the next larger box and mark it "His Love," and in this box place
the one marked "His Care." Every believer tents in the love land of
the heart of God. "He so loved that we might not perish." And so we
are safe in His love. No man dare tamper with the love marked children
of His. Even Satan is afraid of that power. Put this box into the
larger box marked "His Power." Another wall has been built around the
believer. It is God's great wall of power. Now the Love box believer
is surrounded by God's power. Christ said "All power is given unto
me." And it wraps the believer up in this girdle of strength for the
Gospel in the heart is "the power of God unto Salvation." In I Peter
1:15 we are told we are "kept by the power of God." The hand that
holds the sea in the hollow thereof holds me in safety. His power is
my fortress. I can smile at all foes. I am safe in the hollow of His
hand of power. Now place this box in the next larger size box, have it
marked 'His Promise.' He has given me His promises "I will never leave
thee nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 15:5.) He whispered those dear words
to me when he lifted me from the cross of penitence and gave me the
kiss of salvation. He is able to keep His promises and | am trusting
in His word. He has said that "He that begun a good work in you shall
perform it until that day." The day of His coming. I will trust that
promise, and tremble not, nor fear what man can do unto me. "As the
mountains are around about Jerusalem, so is the Lord round about them
that fear Him. As the sides of this Promise box are around about me,
so are the mountains of His power. I am closed in by tons of
mountains, a congress of giants, so Salvation is God's safety box. It
shuts the soul in His Cross, His Care, His Love, His Power, His
Promises. No wonder it is written "They shall _never_ perish." Marvel
not it is written "No man shall pluck them out of my hand." When Noah
and his wife, and his three sons, and their wives went into the Ark,
God shut them in, and they were safe. When God shuts the door He shuts
the soul in. No man can open. God holds the key. It is a secret
combination lock. God knows the combination. No man can know it. It is
a secret God will not whisper to any one in all the world. Closed
in--locked in--that is enough, my soul, to live by and keep me
divinely calm, now, and in the hour of death. "In His keeping" is
Heaven's way of writing the word salvation.
If the box method is too elaborate, to work out, you can use a nest of
envelopes. They put the lesson over just the same.
