Psalm 102:13, 14
"You shall rise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, is come. For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof."
YES, our prayers for the church will be heard. The set time is come. We love the prayer meeting, and the Sunday-school, and all the services of the Lord's house. We are bound in heart to all the people of God, and can truly say,
If this is the general feeling, we shall soon enjoy times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. Our assemblies will be filled, saints will be revived, and sinners will be converted. This can only come of the Lord's mercy; but it will come, and we are called upon to expect it. The time, the set time, is come. Let us bestir ourselves. Let us love every stone of our Zion, even though it may be fallen down. Let us treasure up the least truth, the least ordinance, the least believer, even though some may despise them as only so much dust. When we favor Zion, God is about to favor her. When we take pleasure in the Lord's work, the Lord himself will take pleasure in it.
