Psalm 60:1-12
Proverbs 11:15
Numbers 26:11 — This is the mercy of the Lord that overtakes His justice (Exodus 20:6, 34:7).
Luke 2:37 — It has been said that retirement is not found in the Bible. Thankful for senior saints like Anna!
Luke 2:44 — Joseph and Mary were entrusted with the Messiah, and not only had they lost Him, but they didn’t know it until they were already a day’s journey out of Jerusalem. They let the Father down, but Jesus didn’t. He was about the business of His Father (vs. 49).
Psalm 60:9 — Matthew Henry shares:
Now, (1.) David is here enquiring for help to carry on the ark: “Who will bring me into the strong city? What allies, what auxiliaries, can I depend upon, to make me master of the enemies’ country and their strongholds?’’ Those that have begun a good work cannot but desire to make a thorough work of it, and to bring it to perfection. (2.) He is expecting it from God only.
Proverbs 11:15 — Earlier this year we were warned about being surety for a friend (and we talked about NPR’s story on suretyship). If you didn’t get the message then, Solomon is repeating it!
