TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
Memorize this Verse:
7. T I W I T M O T T W R M T S S F T H A T W O M E A T R H S S M
Trouble attends the best of men. Both outward and inward trouble, from sin, Satan, and the world. Yea, they are in the midst of it, surrounded with it. And it is a way in which they walk through this world, and enter the kingdom of heaven. It is continued unto them; it is a long walk, and yet will have an end (see Psalm 23:4).
“Thou wilt revive me”: Preserve his life amidst all his troubles. Support him under them, make him cheerful and fearless. Revive his work of grace in him, quicken him to the lively exercise of grace, and fervent discharge of duty. This the Lord does by his gracious presence, by the discoveries of his love, and by the application of precious promises.
“Thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies”: To stop and restrain it. Which he can easily do, when most violent and outrageous (Psalm 76:10). Or, “against the nose of mine enemies”. Strike them on the nose, as men do unruly horses to stop them. Or give a slap on their face with the left hand, as Arama observes, the right being mentioned next.
“And thy right hand shall save me”: For that has saving strength in it (Psalm 20:6). This may be understood of Christ, who is not only the man of his right hand, but is the right hand of his righteousness. By whom he saves his people with a spiritual and eternal salvation, as well as with a temporal one (Isa. 41:10).
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. The time we know for sure He is with us (if we are a believer), is when we are in terrible trouble. The Right Hand of God is Jesus. He saved us from sin and death on the cross. He will still save us from harm.
