"Thou shalt Remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee."—The history of a man's own life is, to himself, the most interesting history in the world, next to that of the Scriptures. Every man is an original and solitary character. None can either understand or feel the book of his own life like himself. The lives of other men are to him dry and vapid, when set beside his own. He enters very little into the spirit of the Old Testament who does not see God calling on him to turn over the pages of this history, when he says to the Jew, "Thou shalt remember all the ways which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years." He sees God teaching the Jew to look at the records of his deliverance from the Red Sea, of the manna showered down on him from heaven, and of the Amalekites put to flight before him. There are such events in the life and experience of every Christian. It may be well for him to review them often.—Cecil
