Greetings sis Reis, et al;
THese are sweet contemplations by mr. Hawker. THe LORD knows them
that are HIS. HE knows their downsitting and their uprising, their
going out and their coming in. HE daily surrounds them with HIS mercy
and will in no wise cast any out who come seeking HIM, for it is HE who
first sought them and shall HE fail in HIS objective to give them HIS
kingdom. How often do our fears arise as the powers of darkness and
our own unbelief would cause us to doubt the goodness of the LORD and
the veracity of HIS word, HE will not forsake those who call upon HIS
NAME. The children of GOD can do nothing more nor less than cast
themselves upon HIS mercy. HE knows what they seek and HE will grant
them HIS favor. Blessed SAVIOR, we praise THEE and desire to seek THEE
while you may yet be found.
Blessings, mike

*Is it indeed known unto my Lord that I seek him? Doth Jesus know that I desire him more than my necessary food? Ye angels of light that watched over his sepulchre, do ye witness for me that he is more precious to me than gold, yea, than the golden wedge of Ophir. And can I, do I, humbly appeal to him that readeth the heart, and knoweth all things, and say, "Thou knowest, Lord, that I love thee!" *
*Be comforted, then, my soul: he whom thou seekest will soon be found of thee. He is near at hand. He hath never been a wilderness to his people; neither hath he ever said to the praying seed of Jacob, "Seek ye my face in vain." While thou art seeking him, he is looking on thee. And the very desire in thine heart of seeking him, it is Jesus hath kindled. And nothing can be more sure than that he who kindled them in thine heart, did not kindle them in vain. Sweet thought; I bless thee for it, thou gracious Lord.*
