Psalms 83; 84 and 85
Psalms 85: 1 – 7
The sense of present afflictions should not do away the remembrance of former mercies. The favour of GOD is the fountain of happiness to nations, as well as to particular persons. When GOD forgives sin, HE covers it; and when HE covers the sin of His people, see what the pardon of sin is. In compassion to us, when CHRIST our Intercessor has stood before thee, thou hast turned away thine anger. When we are reconciled to GOD, then, and not till then, we may expect the comfort of HIS being reconciled to us. HE shows mercy to those to whom HE grants salvation; for salvation is of mere mercy. The LORD’s people may expect sharp and tedious afflictions when they commit sin; but when they return to HIM with humble prayer,
HE will make them again to rejoice in HIM.

1 Chronicles 11: 10 – 47​
1 Chronicles 11
An account is given of David’s worthies, the great men who served him. Yet David reckoned his success, not as from the mighty men that were with him, but from the mighty GOD, whose presence is all in all. In strengthening him, they strengthened themselves and their own interest, for his advancement was theirs.

We shall gain by what we do in our places for the support of the kingdom of the SON OF DAVID; and those that are faithful to HIM, shall find their names registered much more to their honour, than these are in the records of fame.

John 6: 41 – 59
John 6: 44
The FATHER ….draw him.
The FATHER draws people to JESUS through the HOLY SPIRIT.
GOD’s work of drawing covers all people, as JESUS says I …will draw all men. But this drawing is not irresistible, for it can be rejected.
