Reflections on Chapter 1
It is terrible to have God as our enemy; but
infinitely happy to have Him as our friend. Great and daring provocations of
Him, and injuries done to His people, will certainly issue in men’s great and
irresistible destruction; yea, nothing more plainly presages their ruin than
carnal security and self-confidence: and their plots against Him but hasten it upon
themselves and families. Men’s pride always lays them low; and shameful sins
bring on shameful punishments: but God’s people shall be delivered from all
their oppressors at last. And in this, but chiefly in the other world, they
shall have blessed opportunities of celebrating the praises, and performing the
solemn services, of Jehovah their gracious Deliverer. And great is the mercy to
a land when Gospel ordinances have free course and are glorified.
