Christian Can Lack Nothing.

Why should I be anticipating evils, instead of blessings, when such a God is mine? Is life to be filled with mournful sunsets only? Are there to be no beautiful sunrises too? The coming days stand before me, like empty vessels waiting to be filled. If I myself fill them up with my forebodings and alarms, what they hold will be bitter enough. But if I suffer God to fill them, they will overflow with the good wine of his Joy. And when, at last, the Journeyings are over, the wilderness is passed, and the fights are done, and my loving Master,' in the good land beyond, asks me to look back and say whether on earth, while serving him, I ever lacked anything I did really need, my thankful Ups will have only this to answer, “Nothlng.’VRev. G. H. Knight.
