Meditating on God’s Mercies

By Bishop Matthew Simpson

ONE of the old Methodist ministers, in his early days, was at one time despondent, and complained to an old member of the Society of Friends. The latter said to him: "Go into thy closet and meditate; think of any mercy, and praise God for that." He did so; thought first of one and then another of God's mercies, and his heart suddenly burst into praise, and light flowed into his soul ever after. If we thus meditate, we can almost see the Hand that feeds and clothes us; and we can almost see the heavens flash into light with the faces of the angels. — Bishop Simpson.
