I’ve been reading your other study on Psalms. Following along with you And going to some of the passages you mentioned to read them also. Love how you give the meaning of the names there. Then I saw this post. A few thoughts: consider ‘in the days of their feasting’ with John 7:37-38 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. [38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
2 Corinthians 12:14-15 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you:
for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. [15] And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
Acts 13:32-33 And
we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made
unto the fathers, [33]
God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
- I’m sorry so many verses here but consider: Isaiah 7:14-16 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. [15] Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. [16] For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
God told Satan that Job feared God. Satan reply was
Doth Job fear God for nought?
Only an opinion but to me that’s not so much Satan saying or tempting you’ve been to sweet and coddled Job too much, but instead ‘what gain’ ‘what profit’ is there in the fear of the Lord? “Immanuel”...though he was a son yet he learned obedience through the things he suffered “
that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. [16]
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good”
Hebrews 12:7-13 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons;
for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? [8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. [9] Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? [10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure;
but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. [12] Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; [13] And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Remember Satan words over one whom God said feared Him.
Doth Job fear God for nought? ‘but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.’
Job 21:8-17 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. [9] Their houses are safe from fear,
neither is the rod of God upon them. [10] Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. [11] They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. [12] They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. [13] They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. [14] Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. [15]
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? [16] Lo, their good is not in their hand:
the counsel of the wicked is far from me. [17] How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
“the counsel of the wicked is far from me.” ...goes with your study of The counsel of the ungodly. “that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. [16] For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good”
Malachi 3:13-17 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? [14]
Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts? [15] And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. [16] Then they
that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him
for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. [17] And
they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and
I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that
there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man,
one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,
Doth Job fear God for nought?
