Psalm 67:1-7 God be merciful to us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine on us; Selah.… I. THE RIGHT MORAL CONDITION OF THE CHURCH IS OF SUPREME IMPORTANCE. II. THE CHURCH BEING MORALLY RIGHT, SHE IS TO BE THE MEDIUM OF MAKING KNOWN THE SUPREME KNOWLEDGE TO OTHERS. THE VITAL POSSESSION OF THIS KNOWLEDGE GIVES EXISTENCE TO THE SUPREME JOY. 1. The joy of Divine satisfaction. 2. The joy of a Hew experience. 3. The joy of melody and praise.What a change this knowledge produces! It turns night into morning, sadness into songs. Being the supreme knowledge, it creates the supreme joy. IV. THE PREVALENCE OF THIS KNOWLEDGE, AND THE PRESENTATION OF THIS PRAISE, WILL ENSURE A GOLDEN HARVEST OF PROSPERITY. (J. O. Keen, D. D.)
