Psalm 119:32 I will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge my heart. In these words we see the connection between theology and morality. I. THERE IS A HEART-RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN AND GOD. God is perpetually awakening some dormant energies of our spirits, by which all past achievements live in present efforts and productivities. Glorious is that heart-relationship which there is between man and God. II. MAN'S HEART-ENLARGEMENT IS ENTIRELY OF GOD. Men, and books, and events are means in God's hands of waking all the germinal glories of the human heart, which is in eternal connection with the Divine. Our successive heart-enlargements have been the results of Divine visitations. Our Father works hitherto, and therefore we work. III. ON-PRESSING OBEDIENCE PROCEEDS FROM THE SPIRITUAL EXPANSIVENESS WHICH GOD ALONE PRODUCES BY HIS OPERATIONS WITHIN US. (W. R. Percival.) Parallel Verses KJV: I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.WEB: I run in the path of your commandments, for you have set my heart free. HEY |
