Psalm 37:18 The LORD knows the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. I. THE PERSONS SPOKEN OF — the upright, a character equally rare and excellent. II. THE PERIOD — their days. These are known of God. He knows them kindly and graciously, and will make them all work together for good. How varied are their days: days of affliction, of danger, etc. But He knows them all. III. THE PORTION — their inheritance shall be for ever. So was not the inheritance of many of the angels in heaven; nor of Adam in Paradise; nor of the Jews in Canaan; nor of the man of this world. But the Christian inheritance is for ever. In the world we may have many losses, but they cannot affect our state. (W. Jay.)
