Psalms 42 to 44

Psalms 42: 6 – 11
The way to forget our miseries, is to remember the GOD our mercies.
David saw troubles coming from GOD’s wrath, and that discouraged him. But if one trouble follow hard after another, if all seem to combine for our ruin, let us remember they are all appointed and overruled by the LORD. David regards the Divine favour as the fountain of all the good he looked for. In the SAVIOUR’s name let us hope and pray. One word from HIM will calm every storm, and turn midnight darkness into the light of noon, the bitterest complaints into joyful praises. Our believing expectation of mercy must quicken our prayers for it. At length, is faith came off conqueror, by encouraging him to trust in the name of the LORD, and to stay himself upon his GOD. He adds, and my GOD; this thought enabled him to triumph over all his grief’s and fears.
Let us never think that the GOD of our life, and the Rock of our salvation, has forgotten us, if we have made HIS mercy, truth, and power, our refuge. Thus the psalmist strove against his despondency: at last his faith and hope obtained the victory. Let us learn to check all unbelieving doubts and fears. Apply the promise first to ourselves, and then plead it to GOD.

Then shall the sanctuary be cleaned.
The cleansing of the sanctuary took three years and two months after the LORD’s altar had been removed by Antiochus Days, that is literally evenings and mornings.

1 Corinthians 13: 8 – 14: 12

1 Corinthians 13: 13
The greatest ……is charity.
It is clear from this chapter that GOD exists CHRIST like character more than ministry, faith or the possession of spiritual gifts. GOD values and emphasizes character that acts in love, patience and kindness.
The greatest in the kingdom of GOD will be those who are great in inward godliness and who demonstrate genuine love for GOD and people.
