“To Him he glory both now and forever.” — 2 Peter iii. 18.

JE AVEN will be full of the ceaseless praises of Jtsus. Eternity! thine unnumbered years shall speed «heir everlasting course, but forever and forever, “to Hira DC glory.” Is He not a “Priest forever, after the order of Melchisedek?” “To Him be glory.” Is He not King forever? — King of kings and Lord of lords, the everlai dng Father? “To Him be glory forever.’” Never shall Fis praises cease. That which was bought with blood desrvs to last while immortality endures. The glory of the cross must never be eclipsed; the lustre of the grave and of the resurrection must never be dimmed. 0 Jesus! thou shalt be praised forever. Long as immortal syirits live — long as the Father’s throne endures — forever, forever, unto Thee shall be glory. Believer, you are anticipating the time whep you shall join the saints above in ascribing all glory to Jesus; but are you glorifying Him noiu 9 The apostle’s words are, “To Him be glory both noio and forever.” Will you not this day make it your prayer? “Lord, help me to glorify Thee. I am poor; help me to glorify Thee by contentment. I am sick; help me to give Thee honor by patience. I have talents; help me to extol Thee by spending them for Thee. I have time; Lord, help me to redeem it, that I may serve Thee. I have a heart to feel; Lord, let that heart feel no love but Thine, and glow with no flame but affection for Thee. I have a head to think; Lord, help me to think of Thee and/or Thee. Thou hast put me in this world for something; Lord, show me what that is, and help me to work out my life-purpose. I cannot do much; but as the widow put in her two mites, which were all her living, so. Lord, I cast my time and eternity too into Thy treasury. I am all Thine; take me, and enable me to glorify Thee now, in all that I say, in all thai I do, and with all that I have.”
