PRELUDE: It is my duty to bring forward this information. Please note that the commentaries offered are quotes by Matthew Henry ( 1662-1714).

The Observations offered are from Robert (1945 – —- ), offering his commentary as Yeshua’s obedient servant, a Watchman (Ezekiel 33:9).

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

Luke 19:37 KJV
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

OBSERVATION!

When I listen to this powerful rendition of  the majestic  power and love of our Father in heaven I look around at what he created and the vastness of his greatness feeds my soul and uplifts my spirit through the voices uplifting their praise in unison. Each time I listen, it becomes even more evident the Holy Spirit was present as their voices were in perfect unison, lifting their praise. Listen for it.

COMMENTARY!

Genesis 1:3,6
[3]And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[6]And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

The earth was emptiness, but by a word spoken, it became full of God’s riches, and his they are still. Though the use of them is allowed to man, they are from God, and to his service and honour they must be used. The earth, at his command, brings forth grass, herbs, and fruits. God must have the glory of all the benefit we receive from the produce of the earth. If we have, through grace, an interest in Him who is the Fountain, we may rejoice in him when the streams of temporal mercies are dried up.

OBSERVATION!

My heart is filled with joy and peace, as I hear the story of your personal courage to be the sacrificial Lamb which paid the price for my reunion with our Heavenly Father through the shedding of your blood. I raise my voice in song to say Thank you Lord.

COMMENTARY!

1 Peter 2:9-10 KJV
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: [10] Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

OBSERVATION!

There is no greater praise that we can raise in song than to acknowledge you are always with us. The power of the testimony within this rendition is expressed by it being embedded in an 8-9 year Old’s heart. To be later in her life raised as a message for those who believe they walk alone, listen to our Lord’s words to that 8-9 year old. Surely the Holy Spirit endowed it on her heart.

COMMENTARY!

To all the saints, the Spirit of grace is given to be a remembrancer, and to him, by faith and prayer, we should commit the keeping of what we hear and know. Peace is put for all good, and Christ has left us all that is really and truly good, all the promised good; peace of mind from our justification before God. This Christ calls his peace, for he is himself our Peace. The peace of God widely differs from that of Pharisees or hypocrites, as is shown by its humbling and holy effects.

OBSERVATION!

How many in the Ecclesia recognized they were a slave to their sins, and they were shrouded in darkness. Yeshua’s sacrifice brought light into the world as he expressed in John 12:47 KJV
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

COMMENTARY!

Beholding in Jesus the glory of the Father, we learn to obey, love, and trust in him. By daily looking to Him, who came as a Light into the world, we are more and more freed from the darkness of ignorance, error, sin, and misery; we learn that the command of God our Saviour is everlasting life. But the same word will seal the condemnation of all who despise it or neglect it.

CLOSING COMMENTARY!

An active believer, the more he is beaten off from God, either by the rebukes of providence, or the reproaches of enemies, the faster hold he will take, and the closer will he cleave to him.

A child of God startles at the very thought of despairing of help in God. See what God is to his people, what he will be, what they have found him, what David found in him

1. Safety; a shield for me; which denotes the advantage of that protection

2. Honour; those whom God owns for his, have true honour put upon them

3. Joy and deliverance. If, in the worst of times, God’s people can lift up their heads with joy, knowing that all shall work for good to them, they will own God as giving them both cause and hearts to rejoice.

CLOSING OBSERVATION!

In this music, we are not only hearing truths. I pray your souls were fed and spirits lifted. As we witnessed the Holy Spirit operating in the lives of many as they brought their faith alive through music hallelujah and blessings to all who have joined us at our Lord’s table and were blessed.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.
