Remember, with _diligence_; for as we abound in faith the Apostle says, We are to abound in all diligence. The pious Psalmist declares, His heart and spirit made a diligent search. The woman who had lost her piece of silver, is said, To sweep the house, and search diligently till she found it—and the Lord is sure to bless the diligent remembrance of himself; take the following texts: _The hand of the diligent maketh rich_. _The hand of the diligent shall bear rule_. _The substance of the diligent man is precious_. _The soul of the diligent shall be made fat_. _The thought of the diligent tends only to plenty_. _He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour_.—Thus we see what God has promised to the _diligent_. Say not this is _legal_, No!—I am exhorting a believer, a quickened soul, one that has light, life, and love. All spiritual actions, acceptable to God, must spring from this quarter. Do you attend while you can to these important things, nor shall you fail of your reward. Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap; and sure I am, every man shall find this text true in his experience, 2 Cor. ix, 6, _He that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly_: _He which soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully_. So the scriptures affirm: I have found it and so shall you. Thus while you are in health of body, peace of mind, furnished with the Spirit’s influence as a Remembrancer—do call to mind, collect together and highly esteem these things, in meditation and prayer, and bless him for what he has done for you and in you. Turn down those pages in your Bible which you have found precious. Tell the dear people of God what Christ has done for you, that they may help you to praise him; for it is written, _They shall come and declare the Work of God in Zion_.—Nor would you lose any thing by it, should you keep a Diary of the Lord’s dealings with you; it would be blessed to read it over another day, especially in the days of evil. Hence the exhortation, _Set thee up way marks_: _set thee up high heaps_—for, being like poor Jacob, we want reminding of our vows, and of God’s goodness. Hence the command, _Arise_, _go to Bethel_, _where thou anointedst the Pillar_, _and make thee an altar to God_, _who appeared for thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau_. It is well to remember what God has done for us, it encourages us in prayer and sweet confidence another day, as may be seen in this good man’s History, Genesis xxxii, when pleading with God for his safety. He acknowledges past mercies, when he only possessed a staff twenty years before, and with it came over that very place where he then stood with two hands! He confesses his utter unworthiness, and pleads with God upon the ground of his promises he had applied to him in times pest. Presents his prayer, mixed with thanksgiving, and obtains an answer. To feel gratitude is a mercy for it well becomes the just to be thankful.
