A Seraphic Diet Psa_78:25 : ’93Man did eat angels’92 food.’94 Somewhat risky would be the undertaking to tell just what was the manna that fell to the Israelites in the wilderness; of what it was made, how it was made, and who made it. The manna was called angels’92 food, but why so called? Was … Continue reading “200. A Seraphic Diet”

From Ocean to Ocean Psa_72:8 : ’93He shall have dominion also from sea to sea.’94 What two seas are referred to?

Captious Criticism Psa_73:9 : ’93They set their mouth against the heavens.’94 This is a full-length portrait of a blasphemer.

Selah Psa_61:4 : ’93Selah.’94 The majority of Bible readers look upon this word of my text as of no importance.

It occurs seventy-four times … Continue reading “193. Selah”

Heavy Loads Psa_55:22 : ’93Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee.’94 David was here taking his own medicine.
