Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. That is to say, they are as stupid and doltish as the idols they make. If they can bow down and worship such things as these, surely the worshippers are fitted for the gods, and the gods for the worshippers. Now, brethren, recollect that there is a spiritual idolatry...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. There is real help in the living Jah, Jehovah, real protection in him.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. The first of this set of sentences seems to me to he addressed by way of exhortation, but the second is a sort of soliloquy in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; There is a new year’s motto for you. It will go back through the old year, and forward into the new one: “The Lord bath been mindful of us: he will bless us.” See how mindful he has been of us all through the past year in a thousand ways. Long before we have known our wants, he has supplied them....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. Great blessings for small people, and not small blessings for those whom he maketh great in Israel.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He had been mindful of Israel, and this guaranteed that he would still bless his people. “The times are dark and cloudy,” the psalmist seems to say, “but by his ancient mercies, our faith is established, and our hope encouraged.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. Now little ones, look out for the blessing that is meant for you: “He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.” Those who have but little faith, little joy, little grace, little growth, yet still he will bless.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. This is the Creator’s blessing, therefore a real one. Many of you have had the new creation wrought in you: you shall live to see new heavens and a new earth.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. This may in part account for the fact that he is not known, and not honoured among men. He is himself in heaven; and, for a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. And they seem as if they meant to keep it, too. The sad thing is, that they get the earth into their hearts, and so they miss the blessing which the Lord intended them to receive from his gift of it.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. As far as this world is concerned, no note is heard from the grave
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The dead praise not the LORD, No song comes up from that dark charnel house, no praise ascends to God from those that are asleep in the grave. The living among them praise him in heaven, but “the dead praise not the Lord.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Neither any that go down into silence. But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. “Praise the Lord,” that is “Hallelujah.” The Psalm could not end with a better note than that; so may all our lives end, for our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake! Amen.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. So let us do tonight. Let us have an extra psalm of praise to the Lord who has brought us safely through another year.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. You cannot help loving God if he has heard your prayers. Have you tried him? If you have, you can join with David and thousands of others in confessing that he is a prayer-hearing God, and therefore you love him. I find the verse might be read, “I love the Lord, because he...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I love the Lord, Can you say that? “Yea, Lord, thou knowest all things. Thou knowest that I love thee.” “I love the Lord.” Love is said to be blind, but not love to God. Love to God can see, and it can give a reason for its own existence, and a good substantial reason too. “I love the Lord.” Psa_116:1. Because he hath heard my voice and my...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. It is a great condescension on God’s part to listen to us. You know what a comfort it is to find a sympathetic listener, who will let you tell out your griefs. It is not wise to tell them to everybody; but there are some who have an ear into which it is both pleasant and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Answered prayer is a good reason for loving God. David was in his right senses; and he was, by no means, a fool, yet he declared that God had answered his prayer, and, therefore, he loved him. And this is not only David’s experience, but there are thousands of us who can say...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. If this double declaration is true, it turns the reading of the Psalm into a devout spiritual exercise for each one of us who can rightly adopt the psalmist’s language. But can each one of us truthfully say, “Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee”? If I...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Every answered prayer should make us love the Lord, and especially those prayers that come up from our heart when it is overwhelmed within us. When we pray in deep trouble, and God sends us help and deliverance, it is impossible for us not to love him. Cannot each believer here...
