19. In those days of joyful prosperity thy saints will present in great
abundance the richest and holiest thank offerings to thee, and thou shalt be
pleased to accept them. A saved soul expects to see its prayers answered in a
revived church, and then is assured that God will be greatly glorified. Though
we bring no more sacrifices for sin, yet as priests unto God our solemn praises
are thank offerings acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. We present him with our
best possessions—our bullocks. In this present time we are able to fulfill the
declaration of this verse; we also, forecasting the future, wait for days of
the divine presence, when the church of God with unspeakable joy will offer
gifts on the altar of God, which will far eclipse anything beheld in these less
enthusiastic days.
