DELIGHT THYSELF IN GOD.
By Hewitson
O laboring and heavy laden souls, the restlessness which you take so many different ways to alleviate, is occasioned by nothing so much as by the want of God. While you are living without him, all that you do is vanity and vexation of spirit. There is a rest for your souls; but it is not those things which you have been so earnestly pursuing. You seek it from the earth; but the earth says, "It is not me."—You seek it from pleasure, from fashion, from riches, from friendship, from praise, but praise, friendship, riches, fashion, pleasure, each of them say, "It is not me." Ask it from every thing in creation, and everything in creation will say, "It is not me." You must seek it above and beyond creation; for there is no rest for your soul till you come and seek where it is to be found, in the bosom of God's everlasting love.—Hewitson.
