…thou art now the blessed of the LORD. – Genesis 26:29

There was a day when I was cursed, and there was a day when I loved sin, and opposed God’s will; but now I love sin no longer, and I find my highest delight in doing the will of my Father in heaven. My soul, if this be true, “thou art now the blessed of the Lord”; thou art a miracle of mercy; thou art a prodigy of grace; and truly, where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” …Once, because you believed not, the wrath of God was resting upon you, but now you can say, “O Lord! I will praise Thee: though Thou wast angry with me, Thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortedst me.” Surely then “Thou art now the blessed of the Lord.” Thou art poor, perhaps, in this world’s goods; but being an heir of the “inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,” why, “Thou art now the blessed of the Lord.” Or, perchance, you are weak and ill, and scarcely able to be in your place; but though thy flesh and strength fail, by His grace, you will triumph over all. With many a fear and many a care oppressed, still “thou art now the blessed of the Lord,” and on Him thou canst cast thy care, and from Him receive deliverance from all thy fears. Whatever thy distresses, this overwhelms them all as with a flood of joy-

“O joy! ’tis mine, this life divine,
Life hid with Christ in God;
Once sin-defiled, now reconciled,
And washed in Jesus’ blood.

~ C.H. Spurgeon
