Psalms 45 and 46

Psalms 45: 6 – 9
The throne of this ALMIGHTY KING is established for ever.
While the HOLY SPIRIT leads CHRIST’s people to look to HIS cross, HE teaches them to see the evil of sin and the beauty of holiness; so that none of them can feel encouragement to continue in sin. The MEDIATOR is GOD, else HE had been neither able to do the MEDIATOR’s work, nor fit to wear the MEDIATOR’s crown. GOD the FATHER, as HIS GOD in respect to HIS human nature and mediatorial offices, has given to HIM the HOLY SPIRIT without measure. Thus anointed to be a Prophet, Priest, and King, CHRIST has pre-eminence in the gladdening gifts and graces of the SPIRIT, and from HIS fullness communicates them to HIS brethren in human nature. The SPIRIT is called the oil of gladness, because of the delight wherewith CHRIST was filled, in carrying on HIS undertakings. The salvation of sinners is the joy of angels, much more of the SON. And in proportion as we are conformed to HIS holy image, we may expect the gladdening gifts influences of the COMFORTER. The excellences of the MESSIAH, the suitableness of HIS offices, and the sufficiency of HIS grace, seem to be intended by the fragrance of HIS garments. The church formed of true believers, is here compared to the queen, whom, by an everlasting covenant, the LORD JESUS has betrothed to HIMSELF. This is the bride, the Lamb’s wife, whose graces are compared to fine linen, for their purity; to gold, for their costliness: for as we owe our redemption, so we owe our adorning, to the precious blood of the SON of GOD.

OLD TESTAMENT

Daniel 9: 1 – 19

Daniel 9: 5
We have sinned.
Daniel did not sit back and passively wait for the promised restoration to come about, instead he began to intercede earnestly with prayer and fasting, for the fulfilment of GOD’s Word.
Daniel began his intercessory by recognizing the awe inspiring greatness of GOD, HIS faithful love and HIS covenant mercy shown to those who love and obey HIM. Then he made his confession, identifying with the people of Israel who had sinned and rebelled against GOD. He asked for Jerusalem’s restoration not because of any righteousness on the part of Daniel or of Israel but for the LORD’s sake.
When GOD responded, HE demonstrated HIS great mercy and loving compassion as a GOD who fulfils HIS promises.

1 Corinthians 14: 13 – 40

1 Corinthians 14: 26
All things….unto edifying.
The principal of all spiritual gifts is to strengthen the church and individual edifying means to promote spiritual life, maturity and godly characters in believers are increasingly spiritually transformed in order that they may not be conformed to this world but may be built up in sanctification, love for GOD, concern for others, purity of heart, a good conscience and sincere faith.
