Psalms 32 and 33

Psalms 32: 3 to 7
It is very difficult to bring sinful man humbly to accept free mercy, with a full confession of his sins and self-condemnation. But the true and only way to peace of conscience, is, to confess our sins, that they may be forgiven; to declare them that we may be justified. Although repentance and confession do not merit the pardon of transgression, they are needful to the real enjoyment of forgiving mercy. And what tongue can tell the happiness of that hour, when the soul, oppressed by sin, is enabled freely to pour forth its sorrows before GOD, and to take hold of his covenanted mercy in CHRIST JESUS! Those that would speed in prayer, must seek the LORD, when by providence, he calls them to seek him, and, by his Spirit, stirs them up to seek him. In a time of finding, when the heart is softened with grief, and burdened with guilt; when all human refuge fails; when no rest can be found to the troubled mind, then it is that GOD applies the healing balm by his Spirit.

OLD TESTAMENT

Daniel 5: 13 – 31

Daniel 5: 22
Hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this.
Daniel reminded Belshazzar of how GOD humbled Nebuchadnezzar. Though Belshazzar surely had heard about this tragic event, he refused to learn anything from it. His desecration of the LORD’s holy vessels was a deliberate act of defiance toward the living GOD. Few people learn the lessons of history. Allegiance to the things of this world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life lead them along the same broad road to destruction that others before them have taken.

1 Corinthians 10: 23 – 11: 16

1 Corinthians 10: 31
Do all to the glory of GOD.
The main object of the believer’s life is to please GOD and promote HIS glory. Thus what cannot be done for GOD’s glory should not be done at all. We honour HIM by obedience, thankfulness, reliance, prayer, faith and loyalty. This rule must be primary direction of our lives a guide for our conduct and a test of our actions.
