Psalms 6 to 9
Psalms 9: 1 β 2
I will praise thee, O GOD.
At the heart of every believer’s relationship with GOD is the requirement to praise HIM. Praising GOD can take place in a variety of ways. Praise is a keynote in the corporate worship of GOD’s people. Both in the corporate worship setting and in other places, the singing of Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs is a way to express praise to GOD. Praise can be sung with the mind or with the spirit.β

2 Chronicles 9: 1 β 31
2 Chronicles 9: 13 β 31
The imports here mentioned would show that prosperity drew the minds of Solomon and his subjects to the love of things curious and uncommon, though useless in themselves. True wisdom and happiness are always united together; but no such alliance exists between wealth and the enjoyment of the things of this life.
Let us then acquaint ourselves with the SAVIOUR, that we may find rest for our souls. Here is Solomon reigning in wealth and power, in ease and fullness, the like of which could never since be found; for the most known of the great princes of the earth were famed for their wars; whereas Solomon reigned forty years in profound peace. The promise was fulfilled, that GOD would give him riches and honour, such as no kings have had or shall have. The lustre wherein he appeared, was typical of the spiritual glory of the kingdom of the MESSIAH, and but a faint representation of his throne, which is above every throne. Here is Solomon dying, and leaving all his wealth and power to one who he knew would be a fool! Ecclesiastes 2:18, 19. This was not only vanity but vexation of spirit. Neither power, wealth, nor wisdom, can ward off or prepare for the stroke of death. But thanks be to GOD who giveth the victory to the true believer, even over this dreaded enemy, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.

John 18: 12 β 27
John 18: 15
Peter denied the LORD out of weakness, not out of wickedness, for he never ceased to love his MASTER and to believe in HIM. Peter was spiritually weak and incapable of resisting great temptation since he had not yet, along with the other disciples, received the HOLY SPIRIT and HIS regenerating grace in the full new covenant sense. They received the HOLY SPIRIT’s indwelling presence only on the resurrection day. β
