Psalms 29 to 31

Psalms 30: 1 – 5
The great things the LORD has done for us, both by HIS providence and by HIS grace, bind us in gratitude to do all we can to advance HIS kingdom among men, though the most we can do is but little. GOD’s saints in heaven sing to HIM; why should not those on earth do the same? Not one of all GOD’s perfections carries in it more terror to the wicked, or more comfort to the godly, than HIS holiness. It is a good sign that we are in some measure partakers of HIS holiness, if we can heartily rejoice at the remembrance of it. Our happiness is bound up in the DIVINE favour; if we have that, we have enough, whatever else we want; but as long as GOD’s anger continues, so long the saints’ weeping continues.

OLD TESTAMENT
🌈
Daniel 4: 28 – 5: 12

Daniel 4: 34 – 37
Mine understanding returned unto me.
Seven is a number of completion, so at the end of the seven seasons, Nebuchadnezzar’s understanding returned. He not only understood what had happened to him, but he also recognized the power, greatness and sovereignty of Daniel’s GOD, the LORD GOD of Israel.

NEW TESTAMENT
✝️
1 Corinthians 10: 1 – 22

1 Corinthians 10: 16
The cup of blessing.
The cup of blessing was the name of the final blessing offered at the end of the common Jewish meal. It was this cup that JESUS blessed at the end of the last Supper that HE interpreted as being the New Testament in my blood. The communion of the blood of CHRIST refers to the believer sharing in the salvation provided by CHRIST’s death. Scripture does not teach that the bread and the fruit of vine actually become CHRIST’s body and blood.
