=January 10th.= _My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. iv. 19._ What a source--"God"! What a standard--"His riches in glory"! What a channel--"Christ Jesus"! It is your sweet privilege to place _all your need_ over against _His riches_, and lose sight of the former in the presence of the latter. His exhaustless treasury is thrown open to you, in all the love of His heart; go and draw upon it, in the artless simplicity of faith, and you will never have occasion to look to a creature-stream, or lean on a creature-prop.--_C. H. M._ =January 11th.= _Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations. James i. 2._ We cannot be losers by trusting God, for He is honored by faith, and most honored when faith discerns His love and truth behind a thick cloud of His ways and providence. Happy those who are thus tried! Let us only be clear of unbelief and a guilty conscience. We shall hide ourselves in the rock and pavilion of the Lord, sheltered beneath the wings of everlasting love till all calamities be overpast.--_Selected._ =January 12th.= _Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John xx. 29._ The seen are shadows: the substance is found in the unseen. . . . No doubt, in Christ, the foundation of our faith is unseen; but so is that of yonder tower that lifts its tall erect form among the waves over which it throws a saving light. It appears to rest on the rolling billows; but, beneath these, invisible and immovable, lies the solid rock on which it stands secure; and when the hurricane roars above, and breakers roar below, I could go calmly to sleep in that lone sea tower. Founded on a rock, and safer than the proudest palace that stands on the sandy, surf-beaten shore, it cannot be moved. Still less the Rock of Ages! Who trusts in that is fit for death, prepared for judgment, ready for the last day's sounding trumpet, since, "The Lord redeemeth the soul of His servants, and none of them that trust in Him shall be desolate."--_Guthrie._ =January 13th.= _Herein is my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit. John xv. 8._ What a possibility, what an inspiration, that we can enhance the glory of "our Father"! Our hearts leap at the thought. How can this be done? By bearing "leaves,"--a _profession_ of love for Him? No. By bearing _some_ fruit? No. "That ye bear _much_ fruit." In the abundance of the yield is the joy, the glory of the husbandman. We should, therefore, aim to be extraordinary, "hundred-fold" Christians, satisfied with none but the largest yield. Our lives should be packed with good deeds. Then at harvest time we can say, "Father, I have glorified Thee on the earth!"--_W. Jennings._ =January 14th.= _Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever. Psa. cxlv. 2._
