LESSON FOR OCTOBER 7
PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE.
L.K880!* TBXT-raaJma It and IX.
OOLDKN TEXT?Tin* that now In
team ahail reap In Joy Paalma 12?:5.
Thest Psalms breathe the spirit ot
the true patriot. The Psalmist sees
Ills afflicted country suffering for the
sins of the people, prays for tlielr
restoration to the Divine favor, and
with the eagte eye of faith anticipates
the joyful day of spiritual and tem
poral blessings because of restoration
to the Divine favor. Doubtless such
patriotism would ba pleasing to the
Lord on the part of Us all.
Psalm 85.
I. Praises for Mcrcioa Received
(vv. W).
Praise is given for
(X) Deliverance from Captivity (v. I
1).
He had In mind the specific mercies
of a given time; perhaps It was one
ot the oppressions of the Philistines
from which they had been delivered.
There seems to be no good ground for
thinking that this whs a deliverance
from the Babylonian captivity. His
praise Is given to the Lord, the name
revealed to Moses when the people
were in bondage. It was fitting for
him to appeal to Qed by the name
which expressed the Divine attribute
most concerned. The central meaning
of the name Lord Is the Unchanging,
Self-Existing One.
(2) Forgiveness of Sin (vr. 2, 3).
"Thou hast forgiven the Iniquity? ,
covered all their sin." God's restora
tion was the proof that be had par
doned. Great Indeed was the sin of
Jacob, but God's forgiveness was great
er. He Is peculiarly a God of mercy.
Having forgiven the sins his anger Is
taken away. He stayed his hand fron
the Judgment which would have Justly
fallen, to show his mercy. Many times
he does this with us. The reason be
can do this Is that he has found a
way by which he can be Just, and at
the same time Justify the sinner (Rom.
1328). In Christ's atonement all our
sins are blotted out. covered up, and
because of this God's burning, fierce
anger Is turned from us.
II. Prayer for Restoration From
Backsliding (vv. 4-7).
He knew how worthless the outward
blessings of the Lord would be unless
the people Inwardly turned to the
Lord. He, therefore, besought the
Lord to give them the greater blessing,
that of a change of heart. Without the
change of heart forgiveness would be
futile. A change of heart can only be
by God's help. Salvation and restora
tion Is only possible as God bestows
enabling grace. No one can come to
God by his own efTorts. It was for this
reason that the Psalmist prayed that
God would turn them. Only as the
people turn from their sins can God's
anger be turned aside. Two things are
prayed for:
(1) That God would turn the hearts
of his people toward himself (v. 4).
Knowing the people's utter helpless
ness to turn to God, he cried out to
God to save them by turning them to
himself. He knew that God's anger
could not turn from the people as long
as they were impenitent.
(2) That God would take away the
very remembrance of their sins (vy.
5-7). '
(a) The ending of bis anger (v. 5).
The desire seems to be that he would
wipe out the very marks of his dis
pleasure by not longer allowing pun
ishment to be meted out to them.
(b) The return to the people's Joy
(v. 6).
Their Joy could only be realized
through a revival from God. The
Psalmist now becomes more bold In his
requests. He Is getting near enough to
God's heart to know that he delights
In the welfare of his children, delights
In their Joy. The sure proof of a re
(<?)Shall show them mercy (v. 7).
"Make It visible," la hi* cry. God's
Judgment was most real. Ills desire Is
that his mercy would be Just as real.
III. Exultant Anticipation (v*. 8-13).
Having spoken the sentiment of the
repentant people, the poet expresses
confidence of the Lord's response. So
faithful Is God that those who sin
cerely pray to him can go forward
with the assurance cf petitions granted.
(1) "He will speak peace" <T. 8).
He knew that a gentle answer would
come, but Its continuance would de
pend upon the fidelity of the people.
> Turning to folly would provoke again
| his wrath.
(2) Will bring his salvation near
Only as his salvation was near could
glory be in the land.
(3) Devise a way by which "Mercy
and truth." "Righteousness and peace,"
may be united (vv. 10, 11).
He did not BUggest a way. He may
not have known It. Faith now see*
the way In Christ. In him such ?
union has been blessedly effected.
(4) The land shall become frultfal
(v. 11).
When sin la removed, temporal pro*-'
perlty shall folio*. Karth's barren
ness la due to sin. When the curse Is
removed frultfulness shall follow.
(5) Righteousness shall be the
guld^ of his people (v. 12).
In that golden, glad age Ood's right
eons ways will leave a track In which
his own may walk with security.
Tsalm 120.
I. The Fact of Zlon'a Deliverance
(TV. I 2).
(1) By whom (v. 1). The Lord.
(2) Effect <.t (w. 1.2).
(a) The people were scarcely able
to believe It. ? So sudden and unexpect
ed was their deliverance that It
seemed to them as a dream. They ex
pressed their feeling In Joyful laughter,
(b) The heathen noted their deliver
ance as marvelous, and ascribed It to
Ood (v. 2).
EHow to Enjoy
the Bible
By REV. HOWARD W. POPE IS
Muodr Bible InatiMU.
Cfctaa*
TEXT?Oh. how 1 lu*? Thy law.-Pa 1
11?:?T
Sunw people enjoy tbe Hlbl? greatly.
They open It ?? eagerly ?? a hungry
man sits down to
dinner, .and they
never aeera to
weary uf It. Da
vid *ay?, "Oh, how
I love thy Law! It
Is my meditatlou
all the day. How
sweet are thy
words unto my
taste! Tea, sweet
er than honey to
my mouth."
Many people
cannot truthfully
speak as did the
l'salmlit. On the
contrary they flud
the Bible a very
uninteresting book, and tbougb they
read It occasionally; It If not because
they enjoy It. but rutber from a sense
of duty. Ia It possible fol anyone to real
ly enjoy the Bible so that tbey will
prefer this book above all others? Sure
ly It Is, and'any one who will accept
the following suggestions will soon
find the Bible lias become the most
precious of all books.
In order to enjoy the Bible one needs
to be born again. The various books
of the Bible were written by godly
men, and for the use of godly people.
While Its atories are always Interest
ing to children, and Its subltme senti
ments and literary beauty appeal to
all classes, still the book as a whole
does not Interest ungodly people, part
ly because It Is a constant rebuke to
them, and partly because It Is ad
dressed chiefly to those who love God.
A person who has not been born again
does not enjoy spiritual things, b?
cuuse he has not a spiritual nature. As
soon as he accept Chstst, however, he
become* a partaker of the divine na
ture, and at once the Bible becomes a
necessity to him. It answers his ques
tions and satisfies the cravings of his
new spiritual nature.
Sifln of the New Heart.
?
One of the flrxf and Kure.it signs of
n new heart is a "relish for the Bible.
This la what the Apostle I'eter refers
to when he says, "As new-born babes
desire ye the sincere milk of the word
that ye may (trow thereby." A book
on lodge mutters can hardly be ex
pected to Interest one who does not
belong to that particular order, neither
Is a railway guide very attractive to
one who does not desire to travel. Let
a man Join the lodge, however, and at
once he Is Interested to learn all he
can about the order. So If he Is pian
? nlng a trip to Europe^ he finds great
pleasure In reading Baedeker's Oulde,
because It describes the countries
where he is going. For the same rea
son the Bible is Interesting to a Chris
tian, because It Is a series of letters
addressed to him personally by his
Heavenly Father, describing the coun
try where he is going, and giving full
directions as to how to reach IL
Another condition requisite for en
joying the Bible is that we recognize
the real object of life, which Is to be
come acquainted with God. "Apd this
Is life eternal tliat they should know
thee, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom thou hast seen" (John
17:3). If the real object of one's life
is to know God, the Bible at once be
comes the book of all books, because It
reveals God's character and purpose as
no other book does. David's opinion of
it is expressed in the words, "Thy
Word is a lamp unto my feet and a
light unto my path," and God's esti
mate of it is given In his injunction to
Joshua, "This book of the law shall
not depart out of thy mouth, hut thou
shall meditate therein day and night"
Revelation is progressive and neces
sarily slow. It has taken God many
centuries to reveal to the race what
j Is contained In the Bible, because sin
I has so blinded our vision that we are
I slow to apprehend spiritual truth.
I Furthermore, the Bible has to be re
j vealed to each human being separately,
as If there were no other person In
existence. Since the Bible Is the prin
cipal means by which God reveals his
character and purpose. It Is evident
; that our acquaintance with him, which
began at our conversion, will progress
Just In proportion to our study and
practice of the word of God.
Know Your Bible.
If we neglect the Bible, we shall
never know Ood Intimately, nml we
shall always be weak anil Inefficient
Christiana. If, liowever, we search
1 the Scriptures diligently, we shall find
It a most fascinating study, and as our
acquaintance with Ood Increases we
will grow In grace and spiritual power..
"The people that <fo know their Ood
shall be strong, and still do exploits.
(Dan. 11:82.)
The reason why the Bible has a
personal Interest for each of us Is that
It Is Ood's mouthpiece and medium of
communication with the people of all
ages. For Instance, when Ood saw
men forsaking him to pursue their own
evils, he cried out through his prophet.
"Let the wicked forsalte his way, and
the unrighteous man his thoughts, snd
let him return unto the Lord, and he
will have mercy upon him." That
message was not limited to the people
of Isaiah's time only, but It represents
Ood's feeling towsrd the wicked and
tinrlghteoUH In all ages. Again, when
Christ said, "Come unto me and ye
that labor and are heavy laden and ye
shall And rest unto your souls," that
Invitation was not restricted to those
who heard It from the Savior's lips, but
applies as truly to you and me. With
Ood all time Is one eternal now. "Ue
Is the same yesterday, today and for
ever." As we resd the Bible, then, let
us listen for Ood's voice In It, snd
prayerfully search for his message for
US.
