INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
CHAPTER 95
"Spiritual joy is the heart & soul of thankful praise." "We must praise God with our voice; we must speak forth, sing forth, his praises out of the abundance of a heart filled with love, & joy, & thankfulness" "He is a great God; the mighty God" "To him all power is given both in heaven & in earth." "...Christ's voice must be heard to-day" "Nothing is more offensive to God than disbelief of his promise & despair of the performance of it because of some difficulties that seem to be in the way." "Sins are errors, practical errors, errors in heart;" "The sins of God's professing people do not only anger him, but grieve him, especially their distrust of him" "If our sins have grieved God, surely they should grieve us" "Those that, like Israel, distrust God, & his power & goodness, & prefer the garlick & onions of Egypt before the milk & honey of Canaan, will justly be shut out from his rest" CHAPTER 96 "We must acknowledge God to be the sovereign Lord, & pay homage to him accordingly" "The gods of the nations were all made-gods, the creatures of men's fancies; but our God is the Creator of the sun, moon, & stars, those lights of heaven, which they imagined to be gods & worshipped as such." "...it is the duty of every one of us to bid Christ & his kingdom welcome;" CHAPTER 97 "The Lord Jehovah reigns; he that made the world governs it" "All have reason to rejoice in Christ's government." "When our God appears as a consuming fire even rocks will be wax before him." "All should bid the kingdom of the Messiah welcome, but few do." "Those that pay allegiance to Christ as a King shall be sure of his protection." "Those that rejoice in Christ Jesus, & in his exaltation, have fountains of joy treasured up for them, which will be opened sooner or later." "Those that sow in tears shall, without fail, reap in joy" "Gladness is sure to the upright in heart, to those only that are sincere in... (their relationship with Jesus Christ)." "We ought to be much in the remembrance of God's holiness, the infinite purity, rectitude, & perfection of the divine nature." "Sinners tremble, but saints rejoice, at the remembrance of God's holiness. Psalms 30:4." CHAPTER 98 "The work of our salvation by Christ is a work of wonder." "Salvation denotes the redemption itself, & righteousness the way in which it was wrought, by the righteousness of Christ." "We must rejoice before the Lord whenever we draw near to him! Deuteronomy 12:12. before the Lord Jesus, & before him, not only as the Saviour, but as the King, the King of kings" Matthew Henry's Commentary: Job To Song Of Solomon, Mac Donald, pgs. 600 - 611.
