Psalms 78: 40 – 72

Psalms 78: 56 – 72
After the Israelites were settled in Canaan, the children were like their fathers. GOD gave them HIS testimonies, but they turned back. Presumptuous sins render even Israelites hateful to GOD’s holiness, and exposed to HIS justice. Those whom the LORD forsakes become an easy prey to the destroyer. And sooner or later, GOD will disgrace his enemies. HE set a good government over His people; a monarch after his own heart. With good reason does the psalmist make this finishing, crowning instance of GOD’s favour to Israel; for David was a type of CHRIST, the great and good Shepherd, who was humbled first, and then exalted; and of whom it was foretold, that he should be filled with the Spirit of wisdom and understanding. On the uprightness of his heart, and the skilfulness of his hands, all his subjects may rely; and of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end. Every trial of human nature hitherto, confirms the testimony of Scripture that the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, and nothing but being created anew by the HOLY GHOST can cure the ungodliness of any.

OLD TESTAMENT

Deuteronomy 22: 1 – 20

Deuteronomy 22: 5 – 12
GOD’s providence extends itself to the smallest affairs, and HIS precepts do so, that even in them we may be in the fear of the LORD, as we are under HIS eye and care. Yet the tendency of these laws, which seem little, is such, that being found among the things of GOD’s law, they are to be accounted great things. If we would prove ourselves to be GOD’s people, we must have respect for HIS will and HIS glory, and not for the vain fashions of the world. Even in putting on our garments, as in eating or in drinking, all must be done with a serious regard to preserve our own and others’ purity in heart and actions. Our eyes should be single, our heart simple, and our behaviour all of a piece.
