Endeavour and Support
Psalm 63:8
My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.


I. THE EFFORT WHICH THE CHRISTIAN MAKES. "My soul followeth hard after Thee." This seen in his —

1. Uniform obedience to God. This obedience spiritual, of the heart; and universal.

2. Lively faith in the promises.

3. Communion and fellowship with God. Hence he follows hard after God as his guide, his refuge and his portion. Are we doing this?

II. THE SUPPORT WHICH THE CHRISTIAN RECEIVES.

1. God delivers their feet from falling, His right hand upholds them.

2. Their hearts from fainting. Learn, then, to love the ordinances of the sanctuary and to improve them; and to ascribe all our good to God.

(W. Tonse.)
