Toplady: The Work, which his Goodness began

Saturday, January 10, 2015
Meditation:
    In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
    —Philippians 1:4-6 (NIV)
Quotation:
The Work, which his Goodness began,
    The Arm of his Strength will complete;
His Promise is Yea and Amen,
    And never was forfeited yet:
Things future, nor things that are now,
    Not all things below nor above,
Can make him his Purpose forego,
    Or sever my Soul from his Love.
    ... Augustus Toplady (1740-1778), Hymns and Sacred Poems, London: D. Sedgwick, 1860, p. 140 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You have marked Your people with a indelible guarantee. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
