Coffee & Commentary

I can't help but laugh as I look at what my last two posts, minus the video, have all been about. All have been about relationships or lack there of one, and how to wait and trust God. Is it obvious what I have been preparing to teach on over the last few weeks? Even yesterday I got a call from our Youth Pastor as FBC asking if I wanted to teach the girls Wed. Night on the topic of waiting on God. I laughed, and told Chris that I would love to considering that it's what I am preparing to teach on at the Pillars Girls Conference.


The last few days I have had a quote from Ben Stuart (Breakaway Ministries) stuck in my head. It's a quote from a message he did titled "A Wife for Isaac." I have the video as a post somewhere on here under the same name. But this is the quote: The same God you trusted with your eternal destiny you can trust with whether or not you'll get married." Then this morning as I sit here drinking some coffee, writing & studying some more I read this commentary on Psalm 37:1-5 by Matthew Henry in Matthew Henry's Commentary. Simply put its some good stuff! HAVE A  HAPPY FRIDAY!!

When we look abroad we see the world full of evil-doers, that flourish and live in ease. So it was seen of old, therefore let us not marvel at the matter. We are tempted to fret at this, to think them the only happy people, and so we are prone to do like them: but this we are warned against. Outward prosperity is fading. When we look forward, with an eye of faith, we shall see no reason to envy the wicked. Their weeping and wailing will be everlasting. The life of religion is a believing trust in the Lord, and diligent care to serve him according to his will. It is not trusting God, but tempting him, if we do not make conscience of our duty to him. A man's life consists not in abundance, but, Thou shalt have food convenient for thee. This is more than we deserve, and it is enough for one that is going to heaven. To delight in God is as much a privilege as a duty. He has not promised to gratify the appetites of the body, and the humours of the fancy, but the desires of the renewed, sanctified soul. What is the desire of the heart of a good man? It is this, to know, and love, and serve God. Commit thy way unto the Lord; roll thy way upon the Lord, so the margin reads it. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, the burden of thy care. We must roll it off ourselves, not afflict and perplex ourselves with thoughts about future events, but refer them to God. By prayer spread thy case and all thy cares before the Lord, and trust in him. We must do our duty, and then leave the event with God. The promise is very sweet: He shall bring that to pass, whatever it is, which thou has committed to him. (Ps 37:7-20)- Matt.Hen. Commentary
