Shew me a token for good

**Shew me a token for good;** that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me. (Psalm 86:17) *1/ Shew me - God's way of teaching. 2/ "A" Token. 3/ Tokens for good - a true token.* ~~~~~ This sermon was preached Lord's Day morning at Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel Ashwell. The deacon giving out the hymns is Mr Brian Northern. ~~~~~ **Sermon summary:** The sermon centers on the heartfelt plea in Psalm 86:17—'Show me a token for good'—as a profound expression of a believer's longing for divine assurance and inward confirmation of God's presence and favour. Rooted in Scripture, it explores how God reveals Himself not merely through abstract doctrine, but through tangible, personal experiences: inward spiritual awakening, providential deliverance, answered prayer, the Spirit's witness, and the chastening of His children as evidence of sonship. The emphasis is on the sufficiency of one true, scriptural token—such as a moment of divine guidance, deliverance from temptation, or a deeply meaningful sermon—rather than a multiplicity of signs, all pointing ultimately to Christ as the source of all grace and the fulfilment of God's covenant. These tokens are not mere coincidences but divine appointments that confirm the believer's identity in Christ, strengthen faith, and direct the heart toward eternal realities, reminding the soul that every blessing flows from the blood of Jesus and the Father's unchanging love.
