INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
CHAPTER 136
"Whom we must give thanks to - to him that we receive all good from, to the Lord, Jehovah." "In all our adorations we must have an eye to God's excellency as transcendent, & to his power & dominion as incontestably & uncontrollably supreme." "He alone does marvellous things; none besides can do such things, & he does them without the assistance or advice of any other." "It is good to enter into the detail of God's favours... and in each instance to observe, & own, that God's mercy endureth for ever." "The riches of his glory are displayed in the vessels of his mercy. Romans 9:23." CHAPTER 137 "Profane scoffers are not to be humoured, nor pearls cast before swine." "A godly man will prefer a public good before any private satisfaction or gratification whatsoever." "Those that are confederate with the persecutors of good people, & stir them up, & set them on, & are pleased with what they do, shall certainly be called to an account for it another day, & God will remember it against them." CHAPTER 138 "...with uprightness of intention & fervency of affection, inward impressions agreeing with outward expressions." "Praising God is work which the greatest of men need not be ashamed of" "Those that walk in the ways of the Lord have reason to sing in those ways, to go on in them with a great deal of cheerfulness, for they are ways of pleasantness, & it becomes us to be pleasant in them; &, if we are so, great is the glory of the Lord." "Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us even when we walk in the midst of troubles & are ready to die away for fear." "Our hopes that we shall persevere must be founded, not upon our own strength, for that will fail us, but upon the mercy of God, for that will not fail." CHAPTER 139 "God takes notice of every step we take, every right step & every by-step." "Every part of the creation is under God's intuition & influence." "No veil can hide us from God's eye" "God made us, & therefore no doubt he knows; he saw us when we were in the forming, & can we be hidden from him now that we are formed?" "See what reason we have then to praise God for our creation, & to conclude that he who saw our substance when it was unfashioned sees it now that it is fashioned." "Sin is hated, & sinners are lamented, by all that fear God." "The way of godliness is an everlasting way; it is everlastingly true & good, pleasing to God & profitable to us, & will end in everlasting life." Matthew Henry's Commentary: Job To Song Of Solomon, Mac Donald, pgs. 749 - 760.
