ing clearness that the two dispositions,
faith in Him who
blesses and consecration to His service, have their root in the
one cardinal virtue of humility, making us ever less and less
in
our own eyes, until we sink into that nothingness, which is the
death to self, and makes room for Him to be All. Then the
word will be fulfilled in us in a new meaning: Without dispute
the less is blessed of the better.
1. Melchizedek blessed Abraham. The work of thy High Priest, my soul, is simply
blessing.
Learn to think this of Jesus, and seek to have a great confidence that He delights to
bless. He is nothing but a fountain of blessing ; rejoice greatly in this and trust Him for it.
2. Remember that the all-comprehensiue blessing of thy Melchizedek in heaven is the Holy
Spirit from heaven in thy heart. As it is written : "Christ redeemed us, that the blessing of
Abraham might come upon us, in Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit
through faith."
The Holy Spirit "abiding continually
"
in the heart is the high-priestly blessing.
3. This day He comes to meet thee, as thou returnest from the battle weary and faint. Bow
before Him, and let Him bless thee ! "Even as the Holy Ghost saith, To-day.
Believe that Jesus
is all to thee.
