June 30th-- Isaiah 55
The Water of Life
When I read this morning, "Ho, every one that thirsteth," I said, "Lord, I thirst." When I read, "Come ye to the waters," I said, "O Lord, I come." When the word said, "Hearken diligently unto me," I rejoined, "O Lord, with all my heart I hearken" -- and so to the end of the chapter. I thought it would be profitable to carry out this system in many other private readings, and if we could have an unmixed and sincere company to whom these things were realities, and not hypocritical clap-trap, a multitude would not be too great to join with edification in such a true communion with the word. That we cannot have yet. But in the desert, and in the corners, and amongst kindred souls when we may, it would be a delightful exercitation - a sort of refreshing splash in the water of life for dreary thirsting pilgrims.
