The Christian Should be Joyful
Isaiah 33:16-17
He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.…


I have been so long away from England that I do not know where our Queen is residing just now; but if I had the wings of a dove, and could mount into the upper air, I would soon find out. I should look for the Royal Standard. I should see it floating over Windsor or Osborne, and by this token I should espy the royal abode. Fling out the banner to the breeze when the King is within. Is the King at home with you, dear brother? Do not forget to display the standard of holy joy. Hoist it, and keep it firing. The Prince of Peace is enthroned in our hearts! The Lord is exalted, for He dwelleth on high (ver. 5), and we dwell on high with Him.

( C. H. Spurgeon.)
