The jeer of sarcasm, and the retort of piety



The jeer of sarcasm, and the retort of piety

“Then David returned to bless his household. 
And Michal... came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose... to appoint me ruler... over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord. .”
 2 Samuel 6:20-22

Suggested Further Reading: 1 Peter 3:1-7

It is a happy thing when we are enabled to rejoice together in our family relationships; when husband and wife help each other on the path to heaven.

 There can be no happier position than that of the Christian man who finds, in every holy wish he has for God, a helper; who finds that often she outstrips him; that when he would do something, she suggests something more; when he would serve his Master there is a hint given that more yet might be done, and no obstacle put in the way, but every assistance rendered. 

Happy is that man and blessed is he. 
He has received a treasure from God, the like of which could not be bought for diamonds. 

That man is blessed of the Most High; he is heaven’s favourite, and he may rejoice in the special favour of his God. But when it is the other way, and I know it is the case with some of you, then it is a sore trial indeed. 

Perhaps, though a careful, cautious, prudent, and excellent worldly woman, she cannot see with you in the things which you love in the kingdom of God, and when you have done something which in the excess of your zeal seems to be but little, she thinks it inordinate and extravagant.

 “Oh,” says she, “do you go and mix with these people? 
Does King David go and wear a linen ephod like a peasant?
 Do you go and sit down with that rabble? 
You?
 You can stand up for your dignity—put ‘esquire’ after your name, and yet walk in the street with any beggar that likes to call himself a Christian. 

You,” says she, “you that are so cautious in everything else, 
you seem to have lost your head when you think about your religion.”

For meditation:

 Those close to the Lord Jesus Christ, his friends and family, could not understand him (Mark 3:21; John 7:5)
 but God worked in their lives (Acts 1:14; 1 Corinthians 9:5). Don’t despair of your loved ones who seem so far from God
 (1 Corinthians 7:16).

Perfect cleansing



Perfect cleansing

‘For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed.’ 
Joel 3:21

Suggested Further Reading: 1 Corinthians 
15:51–58

If it be promised to us that the old nature shall thus be removed, and we shall be purged, what then? 
Why, then, let us struggle against our corruption, because we shall get the victory. 

Nothing makes a man fight like the hope of getting the victory. When poor soldiers feel that it is of no use, then they are only too glad to hear the trumpet sound a retreat; but when they are confident of victory, how they draw their swords, how they haste to the struggle, how they weary not of the fight.

 Even now, today, my soul takes hold upon her sword. Sin, death, and hell I defy you, for I shall bear the palm as surely as I bear the sword. 

I shall wear the crown as certainly as I agonised unto death. Struggle with yourselves, strive daily to get the mastery of your passions. The victory is sure. 

Let no discouragement weaken you.
 ‘Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.’ 
He is able to give you the victory through Jesus Christ your Lord. 

And what next? Why, today, pray against your corruptions more than ever you have done. You have got a promise to plead. Take it, salt it with your tears. 

Lay it upon the altar; put your hands upon the horns of the altar, and say, ‘Great God, I will not rise, I will not let thee go until I know by divine assurance that this promise shall be fulfilled to me.’ So shall you go forth to your daily struggle with temptation, wearing a smile upon your face, and smoothing those wrinkles on your brow.

 Sorrow does not become the man who has so rich a promise. Be glad.
 The joy of the Lord shall be your strength. 
You shall at last win the victory.

 Sinner! he that believes in Christ may claim this text for himself. Believe, and this text is yours as well as mine.

For meditation: 

As a young man David knew that the battle was the Lord’s 
(1 Samuel 17:47); as an old man he knew that the victory also was the Lord’s (1 Chronicles 29:11). By faith the Christian shares in the victory over the world now (1 John 5:4) 
and over death in the time to come (1 Corinthians 15:57).
