2 Samuel 6:20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said… The Sunday services were well attended and were used of God to the conversion of some. Each night showed fresh cases of blessing, and the last day I was asked to visit the Bible class leader, who had been taken ill on the Monday. on entering the room he exclaimed, "This is a judgment on me." "What, do you mean?" said I. "Well, I prayed in public last week that the Lord would keep all excitement out of the meetings, and He answered it by keeping me out of them altogether, and I have not been able to get my young men to any of them." It is wise to distinguish between the "religion of excitement" and the "excitement of religion." We must never put perspiration in the place of inspiration, or thunder in the place of lightning. (Newton Jones.) Parallel Verses KJV: Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! |
