Psalms 79: 1 – 5 & 8 – 13 and Psalm 80

Psalms 79: 1 – 5
GOD is complained to: whither should children go but to a Father able and willing to help them? See what a change sin made in the holy city, when the heathen were suffered to pour in upon them. GOD’s own people defiled it by their sins, therefore he suffered their enemies to defile it by their insolence. They desired that GOD would be reconciled. Those who desire GOD’s favour as better than life, cannot but dread his wrath as worse than death. In every affliction we should first beseech the LORD to cleanse away the guilt of our sins; then HE will visit us with HIS tender mercies.

OLD TESTAMENT
🌈
1 Chronicles 9: 17 – 44

1 Chronicles 9: 16 – 27
This chapter expresses that one end of recording all these genealogies was, to direct the Jews, when they returned out of captivity, with whom to unite, and where to reside. Here is an account of the good state into which the affairs of religion were put, on the return from Babylon. Everyone knew his charge. Work is likely to be done well when everyone knows the duty of his place, and makes a business of it. GOD is the GOD of order. Thus was the temple a figure of the heavenly one, where they rest not day nor night from praising GOD, Revelation 4:8. Blessed be HIS name, believers there shall, not in turn, but all together, without interruption, praise HIM night and day: may the LORD make each of us fit for the inheritance of the saints in light.

John 6: 1 – 21

John 6: 2
Miracles are works of supernatural origin and power.
They function as a sign of mark of divine authority. The central and greatest miracle of the New Testament is the resurrection.
