HINTS FOR PASTORS AND LAYPERSONS
Verse 6. Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he. God's good pleasure in the work of grace. Seen, not in the death of the wicked, Ezekiel 33:11 ; but in the election of his people, 1 Samuel 12:22 ; in the infliction of suffering on the substitute, Isaiah 53:10 ; in the provision of all fulness for his people in Christ, Colossians 1:19 ; in the arrangement of salvation by faith in Christ, John 6:39 ; in instituting preaching as the means of salvation, 1 Corinthians 1:21 ; in the adoption of believers as his children, Ephesians 1:5 ; in their sanctification, 1 Thessalonians 4:3 ; in their ultimate triumph and reign, Luke 12:32 . --C. A. D.
Verse 6. (last words). The power of God in places of trouble, change, and danger -- seas; and in conditions of sin, weakness, despair, perplexity -- in all deep places.
Verse 6-12. The Resistless Pleasure of Jehovah.
b) Overturning a rebellious nation.
c) Making sport of kings and crowns.
d) Laying a fertile country at the feet of the chosen.
b) Think not to hide from it: the "ends of the earth" and "all deep places" are open to it; it is swifter than its own lightnings.
c) Be awed by its majesty: God's way is strewn with crowns and the bones of kings.
d) Seek its protection: its mightiest efforts are in defence of those it favours.
e) Let the Lord's people fear not with so great a God, and so exhaustless an armoury. --W. B. H.
