#Psalm 118 kjv free#

The psalmist praises God, and calls upon all about him to give thanks to God for the glad tidings of great joy to all people, that there is a Redeemer, even Christ the Lord. The duty this privilege calls for, is here set forth the sacrifices we are to offer to God in gratitude for redeeming love, are ourselves not to be slain upon the altar, but living sacrifices, to be bound to the altar spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise, in which our hearts must be engaged. The duty which the Lord has made, brings light with it, true light. Let me have victory over the lusts that war against my soul and let Divine grace subdue my heart. Let my soul prosper and be in health, in that peace and righteousness which his government brings. Let this Saviour be my Saviour, my Ruler. Sabbath days ought to be rejoicing days, then they are to us as the days of heaven. We will rejoice and be glad in the Lord's day not only that such a day is appointed, but in the occasion of it, Christ's becoming the Head. Christ's name is Wonderful and the redemption he wrought out is the most amazing of all God's wondrous works. He is the chief Top-stone, in whom the building is completed, who must, in all things, have the pre-eminence. His exaltation he is the chief Cornerstone in the foundation. This proved the ruin of those who thus made light of him. His humiliation he is the Stone which the builders refused: they would go on in their building without him. Verses 19-29 Those who saw Christ's day at so great a distance, saw cause to praise God for the prospect. Such were the triumphs of the Son of David, in the assurance that the good pleasure of the Lord should prosper in his hand. Let us seek to live to declare the works of God, and to encourage others to serve him and trust in him. Perspectives Of Hope (Overcoming COVID-19) Recognizing Gods Voice // Learn to Encounter Him.
