‘The Lord hath been mindful of us: He will bless us’ (Psalm 115:12)
“I can set my seal to the first sentence. Cannot you? Yes, Jehovah has thought of us, provided for us, comforted us, delivered us, and guided us. In all the movements of his providence he has been mindful of us, never overlooking our mean affairs. His mind has been full of us – that is the other form of the word ‘mindful’. This has been the case all along, and without a single break. At special times, however, we have more distinctly seen the mindfulness, and we would recall them at this hour with overflowing gratitude. Yes, yes, ‘the Lord hath been mindful of us.’
“The next sentence is a logical inference from the former one. Since God is unchangeable, he will continue to be mindful of us int he future as he has been in the past; and his mindfulness is tantamount to the blessing us. But we have here, not only the conclusion of reason but the declaration of inspiration: we have it on the Holy Ghost’s authority – ‘HE WILL BLESS US.’ This means great things and unsearchable. The very indistinctness of the promise indicates its infinite reach. He will bless us after his own divine manner, and that for ever and ever. Therefore, let us each say, ‘Bless the Lord, O my soul!’”
-C.H. Spurgeon, Cheque Book of the Bank of Faith
Bless the Lord, O my soul!!
