But when and where are you to seek Him? The question has been answered
in the truths of which I have reminded you. Seek Him in obedience to
that Voice of His, which you hear in your consciences, seek Him in
obedience to those principles of right, as against wrong, which He has
implanted in you, and which His Spirit is continually reviving in you;
seek Him in trying, day by day, to do His Will as He has revealed it to
you in His word, especially as He has revealed it to you in the life
and teaching of His Own Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Seek Him in those
sacraments and ordinances of His Church which he has instituted for
our comfort. If you obey our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to follow His
life, His Spirit will speak to you continually in your consciences,
will help you to know your duty and to do it, and you will be saying
in practice what you say in words: “O God, Thou art my God; early will
I seek Thee.” Our Lord has told you that if you are true hearted in
trying to do this, He will forgive you your failures and weaknesses,
that He has died to make atonement for them, that He will take you
by the hand as you pass from this life to the next, and will be your
advocate and sponsor before the face of the righteous and Almighty God.
Let us bring this spirit into all we do and all we think, and we shall
then be able to join in the succeeding words of this Psalm, “Have I not
remembered Thee in my bed: and thought upon Thee when I was waking?
Because Thou hast been my helper: therefore under the shadow of Thy
wings will I rejoice. My soul hangeth upon Thee: Thy right hand hath
upholden me.” May God grant us all this faith and this eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
