A Goodly Heritage

Faith has two hands ; with one it pulls off its own righteousness, and throws it away , as David did Saul's armour ; with the other it puts on Christ's righteousness over the souls shame . as that in which the soul alone dares see God or be seen by Him . ______________One of the Fathers.

Our present portion is the earnest, not the inheritance.Here we see through a glass darkly.The wilderness will do for us till we cross into Canaan.The tent will do till the "city of habitation " comes. The joy of believing is enough till we enter on the joy of seeing. We are content with the "mountain of myrrh, and the hill of frankincense,"until " the day break and the shadows flee away." from H.Bonar Let us be content with our present portion,whatever that may be, and be as Paul who said ,that he learned in whatever situation he found himself in , with that to be content.
