Psalm
36: The Lord found David’s heart in harmony with His. It takes a lot
of tuning to get our hearts in tune and not promote discord. Adjust the
heart strings to God’s music. David had an instrument of ten strings.
We have five natural senses duplicated in Spiritual things. God
expects the echo of His own voice from our lips and is very disappointed
when He doesn’t hear it. He is often disappointed, but never
discouraged as in Noah’s, Abraham’s and Jesus’ time. Ten things in
first four verses that represent iniquity. David analyzed them. There
is no fear of God before their eyes! Ten thousand tons of books made
out of the 26 letters of the alphabet. “As many as received Him,” is
the alphabet that tells how to get to Heaven. The compensation of the
Gospel is the feeling “ am getting some place.” Jesus has blazed the
trail. Psalm 36:1-4 is He, His etc. Neat verses…thee, thine, etc.
Nice to take a gentle curve. Satan makes many curves. Get back to the
straight path. Every sect is started by gentle curves. Ezekiel 28,
Satan had nine precious stones in his breastplate all out of order.
God’s breastplate had 12. Verse 5, Thy mercy is in the Heavens. This
is the first step towards getting in step with God. Matter of talk will
be according to how close we get in touch with Him. Moses took forty
days and nights to get the pattern. Jesus gave the New Testament or law
on the Mount. He sent them out as genuine men. “Thy faithfulness
reacheth unto the clouds.” Exodus 34. Big difference between Exodus 2
and Exodus 34. “Shew me Thy face.” “There is a place by Me and thou
shalt stand upon a rock.” This was at the top of the mount. Moses
ascended and God descended to have fellowship. By one ascending and God
descending, there was something done that day. First act of Moses was
fall on his face, worship and adore. He paid Heaven’s price for
Heaven’s commodities. The hidden manna takes labour. Manna was
gathered by people on their knees. Many people give fifteen hours for
the upkeep of their bodies and fifteen minutes or less for the upkeep of
the soul. The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.
Represent or re-present Christ. Which is visited most in your life, the
mercy seat or altar of whole burnt offering? Last couple of verses of
Hebrews 4. The great mountains Verse 6, Mt. Ararat
or mountain of rest, not on a polluted spot. Many dead bodies of
people and animals at base, but God had the ark rest high above these.
One of each clean animal was sacrificed. God’s people are not among the
polluted. Mt. Moriah:
Abraham tested by giving his only son, a mountain of test and victory. Exodus 3:1, the burning bush - a type of Moses. He burnt for eighty
years his natural strength not abated. Mt. Sinai where he received the tables of stone and law. Mt. Nebo,
where he saw the Promised Land and died. Another great mountain was
the Mount of Transfiguration. The further we go on the mountain, the
higher. Revelation 21:10, great and high mountain where John saw the New
Jerusalem. He was carried there by the Holy Spirit. Dig deep for the
precious metals. Verse 8, love is a great drawing power. They shall be
abundantly satisfied. The rivers of Babylon are rivers of displeasure. Real true godliness is pictured in verses 5 to 10. |
