Psalm 46:4-7 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.… I. ISRAEL NEEDED THE DIVINE HELP and trusted in God for deliverance. The Church of to-day in its growth in grace needs like deliverance, but is at times slow to confess this. II. GOD MAKES HIS PEOPLE SENSIBLE OF THEIR NEED WHEN THEY FORGET IT. He did so by Israel. He said, "I will go and return to My place till they acknowledge their offence and seek My face; in their affliction they will seek Me early" (1 Kings 8:38, 39). III. SUCH SENSE OF NEED REQUISITE TO MAKE MEN SEEK HIS ASSISTANCE IN PRAYER. (J. Foot, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. |
