His Unrevealed Provisions
It is not what we can see of God’s goodness to us, but what we can not see, that is our richest treasure. Let us learn to praise Him for this, in the spirit of a Christian man who recently praised God for the “provisions that are unrevealed.” And, though still unrevealed, these provisions are already ours in Christ. We are like children not yet of age who have been left a princely legacy that is being held in trust for us, the extent of which we do not know. Yet it belongs to us already. So it is God’s undefeatable purpose to give us possession of all that He has made us heirs of. Part of His unrevealed provision for us will fall due to-day; part to-morrow; part not until our Lord Himself comes again and completes His unrevealed redemption of His own. The normal Christian life is a progressive discovery of the ever-new surprises which God has prepared for them that love Him.—Sunday School Times.
