Psalms 119:56 — if men do not exert these, God will not fulfil the others.2. "Made to thy servant:" The promises are made to the obedient. It is in vain to desire God to remember his promises made to us, if we make no conscience to perform our promises made to him.3.

They are thy promises; thou hast made them to us; and thou hast caused us to hope, because made by thee, that they shall be fulfilled.II.

Psalms 3:8 — Versículo Salmo 3:8 . La salvación pertenece al Señor. Sólo Dios salva. Él es la fuente de donde proviene la ayuda y la salvación; y sólo a él se debe la alabanza de todas las almas salvadas. Su bendición está sobre su pueblo. Los que se salvan del poder y de la culpa
Psalms 5:12 — la entrada ora muy seriamente por la atención; muestra que quiso ser serio y ferviente en ella; y elige una variedad de palabras para expresar lo mismo, que se elevan por grados en la descripción:  1° Se eleva de la meditación;  2° A las palabras;  3° De las palabras a la voz;  4° De la voz al grito.  Entonces desea a Dios: A. Que considere. B. Que le escuche. C. Que escuche.  1- Considera, quien sopesa la justicia de la causa.  2- Presta oído, quien quiere entender lo que el suplicante quiere decir.

The fourth, a conjunction of all these three; the first, Psalms 86:15; the second, Psalms 86:16; the third, Psalms 86:17.I. The reasons of his petition, drawn from himself.1.

But who is the backslider in HEART?1) Not he who was surprised and overcome by the power of temptation, and the
Leviticus 9:24 — they shouted, and fell on their faces. —1. The miracle was done in such a way as gave the fullest conviction to the people of its reality.2. They exulted in the thought that the God of almighty power and energy had taken up his abode among them.3. They prostrated themselves in his presence, thereby intimating the deep sense they had of HIS goodness, of their unworthiness, and of the obligation they were under to live in subjection to his authority, and obedience to his will. -This celestial
