Psalms 83 – 85
Psalms 84: 1 – 7
The ordinances of GOD are the believer’s solace in this evil world; in them, he enjoys the presence of the living GOD: and this causes him to regret his absence from them. They are to his soul as the nest to the bird. Yet they are only an earnest of the happiness of heaven; but how can men desire to enter that holy habitation, who complain of Divine ordinances as wearisome? Those who are truly happy, who go forth, and go on in the exercise of religion, in the strength of the grace of JESUS CHRIST, from whom all our sufficiency is. The pilgrims to the heavenly city may have to pass through many a valley of weeping, and many a thirsty desert; but wells of salvation shall be opened for them, and consolations sent for their support. Those who press forward in their Christian course shall find GOD add grace to their graces. And those who grow in grace shall be perfect in glory.

OLD TESTAMENT

Deuteronomy 25: 1 – 19
Deuteronomy 25: 4
Not muzzle the ox.
This command provides that working animals be given sufficient feed to maintain strength and health. They were to be treated humanely and rewarded for their labour. Even more, people deserve fair treatment for their labour. The New Testament applies this principle to ministers of the gospel. Those who labour in the ministry be paid reasonable, fair wages.

NEW TESTAMENT

Romans 13: 11 – 14: 5
Romans 13: 14
Put ye on the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
We must be so united and identified with CHRIST that we imitate HIS life as our pattern for living, adopt HIS principles, obey HIS commands and become like HIM. This calls for a complete rejection of immorality and acts of a sinful nature.
