Psalms 115:3. But our God is in the heavens:
Where they cannot see him. But that is just where he should be-in his own royal pavilion, seated upon his own throne,-out of gunshot of all his enemies,-where he can survey the whole world, where he is dependent upon none, but absolutely supreme over all: "Our God is in the heavens.
Psalms 115:3. He hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
What a grand sentence that is. After all, his eternal purposes are continually being fulfilled. His decrees can never fail to be accomplished. He is not a thwarted and defeated God,-not one who has to wait upon his creatures to know their pleasure; but "he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased." How absolute and unlimited those words are! "Whatsoever he hath pleased." He hath willed it, and he hath done it. As for the heathen who say, "Where is now their God?" we may ask, in holy derision, "Where are their gods, and what sort of gods are they?" The psalmist gives the answer.
