Isaiah 26:9 With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you early… 1. The judgments of God ought to drive the open transgressor of God's law from his sins and criminal indulgences. 2. The judgments of God ought to stimulate every individual, who is destitute of personal religion, to attend to his spiritual interests without a moment's delay. Religion is a personal concern, and essential to extensive usefulness and real happiness. 3. The judgments of God ought to excite in every Christian more of the spirit and exercise of prayer both for himself and others. (Alex. Harvey.) Parallel Verses KJV: With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. |
