INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
"Is any afflicted? let him pray; & let him in prayer pour out his complaint to God, & make known before him his trouble. The people of God do so here"
"As it is a great comfort to us, so it ought to be a sufficient one, in our troubles, that God sees, & considers, & remembers, all that has come upon us" "The sins which God looks back upon in punishing we must look back upon in repenting." "Let us take occasion hence to bless God for the plenty that we enjoy, that we get our bread so easily" "...for the peace we enjoy, that we can go out, & enjoy not only the necessary productions, but the pleasures of the country, without any fear of the sword of the wilderness." "Earthly crowns are fading, failing things; but, blessed be God, there is a crown of glory that fades not away, that never fails, a kingdom that cannot be moved." "What shakes the world gives no disturbance to him who made it" "God's throne continues still; he still rules the world, & rules it for the good of the church. The Lord reigns, reigns for ever" "Lord, do not reject us for ever, but turn thou us unto thee; renew our days." "God never leaves any till they first leave him, nor stands afar off from any longer than while they stand afar off from him" "Those that repent, & do their first works, shall rejoice, & recover their first comforts. God's mercies to his people have been ever of old (Ps. 25:6); & therefore they may hope, even then when he seems to have forsaken & forgotten them, that the mercy which was from everlasting will be to everlasting." Matthew Henry's Commentary: Isaiah to Malachi, Mac Donald, pgs. 742 - 746.
