INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
CHAPTER 140
"Violent men are evil men." "Pride goes before destruction." "The more malice appears in our enemies against us the more earnest we should be in prayer to God to take us under his protection." "Those are safe whom God preserves" "God is as able to preserve his people from secret fraud as from open force" "...nothing can shorten the Lord's right hand." "Mischievous men will be brought to light, & brought to ruin" CHAPTER 141 "Prayer is a spiritual sacrifice; it is the offering up of the soul, & its best affections, to God." "Prayer is of a sweet-smelling savour to God, as incense, which yet has no savour without fire; nor has prayer without the fire of holy love & fervour." "Let the wicked fall into their own net." "The entangling & ensnaring of the wicked sometimes prove the escape & enlargement of the righteous." CHAPTER 142 "Those who in sincerity take the Lord for their God shall find him all-sufficient both as a refuge & as a portion, so that, as no evil shall hurt them, so no good shall be wanting to them" "This we should have an eye to, in all our prayers to God for deliverance out of trouble, that we may have occasion to praise God & may live to his praise." CHAPTER 143 "The more we consider the power of God the less we shall fear the face or force of man" "God speaks to us by his word & by his providence, & in both we should desire & endeavour to hear his lovingkindness" "It is the desire & endeavour of all God's faithful servants to know & to do his will, & to stand complete in it." "Those that have the Lord for their God have his Spirit for their guide; & it is both their character & their privilege that they are led by the Spirit." Matthew Henry's Commentary: Job To Song Of Solomon, Mac Donald, pgs. 760 - 769.
