The soul of man is in want, and seeks for satisfaction but becomes weary of seeking that in the world, which is not to be had in it. Our way to heaven lies through the wilderness of this world. God has provided comforts to supply all their wants, and to answer all their prayers. This has fulfilment in the triumphs of the gospel of Christ, and of all faithful followers of Christ, over the power of darkness. God will make him fit for use, new, and having sharp spikes. The Lord will make Jacob to become a threshing instrument. The Lord will help them, for he is their Redeemer. Every part of God's word is calculated to humble man's pride, and to make him appear little in his own eyes. God's people are as worms, in humble thoughts of themselves, and in their enemies' haughty thoughts of them worms, but not vipers, not of the serpent's seed. It is the worm Jacob so little, so weak, so despised and trampled on by every body. Let not God's people render evil for evil, but wait God's time. There are those that strive with God's people, that seek their ruin.
#I am always with you bible verse full#
Art thou ready to fall? I will uphold thee with that right hand which is full of righteousness, dealing forth rewards and punishments. Art thou in want of friends? I will help thee in the time of need.
Verses 10-20 God speaks with tenderness Fear thou not, for I am with thee: not only within call, but present with thee. Let not such as have thus been favoured yield to fear for the contest may be sharp, but the victory shall be sure. Happy are the servants of the Lord, whom he has called to be his friends, and to walk with him in faith and holy obedience. It means that Abraham, by Divine grace, was made like to God, and that he was admitted to communion with Him. This is certainly the highest title ever given to a mortal. Sinners encourage one another in the ways of sin shall not the servants of the living God stir up one another in his service? God's people are the seed of Abraham his friend.
Verses 1-9 Can any heathen god raise up one in righteousness, make what use of him he pleases, and make him victorious over the nations? The Lord did so with Abraham, or rather, he would do so with Cyrus. (10-20) The vanity and folly of idolatry.
