Seeing God’s Glory
“And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.”—Exodus 33:19 A Daring Request Have you ever thought what an daring request Moses made when he asked God, “I beseech thee, shew me thy glory”? What would possess a man to ask such a thing? Was he merely curious? Was he presumptuous? Was be being foolish or bold? Have you considered that Moses might be desperate?

The Cause Of True Religion
March 30, 1835. My dear sister Fanny,—The tidings I am about to communicate may concern you more than surprise you.

Selah
When in London, I had some conversation with a Jew rabbi, and I asked him what was the meaning of the word “Selah.” He said it had a threefold meaning: 1, Mark well; 2, Praise ye; 3, For ever.

And on these three heads I shall, as the Lord shall enable me, preach my sermon this afternoon.
