(10) And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (11) They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; (12) And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. (13) But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? (14) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
I will not, (for I must not), trespass any further in this Chapter. But oh! what a subject is here again opened to our meditation, on the eternal nature of Christ's Person; and of the everlasting duration of his kingdom! How endeared to Christ's Church, is the consideration of the unchangeable, unfading, and eternal nature of Christ's love to his people. Amidst all changes, there is none can be here. Jesus lives, and loves, and reigns forever. He is the Rock of Ages. Lord! (said one of old, under the fixed conviction by grace of these things), thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations! Psalms 90:1. And here the redeemed soul finds a safe, and sure hiding place, from every storm, and evil. What though friends die, Jesus liveth. What, though the earth be removed, or we are removed from it; this sweet view of Jesus, and an assured oneness in Jesus, brings up all. The heavens may perish, and all things below change like a vesture. Here is the believer's confidence: But thou art the same! The same in thy Person. The same in thy love. And the same, in all the Covenant-securities forever. Hallelujah! The Lord God Omnipotent reigneth! Amen.
