Isaiah 40:1-2 â€œComfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.â€
*****

Psalm 51
Words By: Isaac Watts Tune to: Amazing Grace - C. M.

1. O God of mercy, hear my call,
My loads of guilt remove;
Break down this separating wall,
That bars me from my love.

2. Give me the presence of Thy grace,
Then my rejoicing tongue
Shall speak aloud Thy righteousness,
And make Thy praise my song.

3. No blood of goats nor heifers slain,
For sin could e'er atone;
The death of Christ shall still remain
Sufficient and alone.

4. A soul oppressed with sin's desert,
My God will ne'er despise;
A humble groan, a broken heart,
Is our best sacrifice.

He Does As He Pleases!
"For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? " Isaiah 14:27

To say that God is sovereign, is to declare that He is the Almighty, the Possessor of all power in Heaven and earth â€” so that none can . . .
defeat His counsels,
thwart His purpose,
or resist His will.
Whatever takes place in time â€” is but the outworking of that which He has decreed in eternity. The sovereignty of the God of Scripture, is . . .
absolute,
irresistible
and infinite!
We insist that God does . . .
as He pleases,
only as He pleases,
always as He pleases!

"But our God is in the heavens:
He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.!" Psalm 115:3

"Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He in heaven,
and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places!" Psalm 135:6

"And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing:
and He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven,
and among the inhabitants of the earth:
and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him,
What doest Thou?â€ Daniel 4:35
(Arthur Pink, "The Sovereignty of God")

God's Attributes

Power is God's hand or arm.
Omniscience is God's eye.
Mercy is God's heart.
Eternity is God's duration.
Holiness is God's beauty.

Without holiness . . .
His patience would be an indulgence to sin,
His mercy would be a sentimental fondness,
His wrath would be a madness,
His power would be a tyranny,
His wisdom would be an unworthy subtlety.

Holiness gives balance to all of God's attributes.
--Stephen Charnock

Who Gets the Glory?
If you wish to know if the gospel you are hearing preached is the gospel of God, ask yourself this question, â€˜Who gets the glory?â€™

If you wish to know whether your religious experience is of the flesh or of the Lord, ask yourself the same thing, â€˜Who gets the glory?â€™

Also, examine all your gifts, works, and missionary efforts by the same rule, â€˜Who gets the glory?â€™ God will not share His glory! That which is of God, from God, and for Godâ€™s glory will be blessed with His presence and power â€˜that no flesh should glory in His presence. ... that, according as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.â€™ (1 Corinthians 1:29, 31).
