A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.

Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary

To expect unchanging happiness in a changing world, must end in disappointment. To bring ourselves to our state in life, is our duty and wisdom in this world. God’s whole plan for the government of the world will be found altogether wise, just, and good. Then let us seize the favourable opportunity for every good purpose and work. The time to die is fast approaching. Thus labour and sorrow fill the world. This is given us, that we may always have something to do; none were sent into the world to be idle.

  • Thursday, September 13, 2012 – Psalms 30:1-5

A psalm of David. A song for the dedication of the Temple. I will exalt you, LORD, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me. (NLT)

Barnes’ Notes on the Bible

I will extol thee – literally, “I will exalt thee;” that is, he would make God first and supreme in his thoughts and affections; he would do what he could to make Him known; he would elevate Him high in his praises.

For thou hast lifted me up – To wit, from the state of danger in which I was Psalm 30:2-3. The Hebrew word used here means properly to draw out, as from a well; and then, to deliver, to set free. As God had thus lifted him up, it was proper that he should show his gratitude by “lifting up” or extolling the name of God.

And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me – Hast not suffered them to triumph over me; that is, thou hast delivered me from them. He refers to the fact that he had been saved from a dangerous illness, and that his enemies had not been allowed to exult over his death. Compare the notes at Psalm 41:5.

  • Friday – Ecclesiastes 3:-8
  • Saturday – Ephesians 5:1-3
  • Sunday – Isaiah 41:10

  • Wednesday, September 12, 2012 – Daniel 10:2-3

When this vision came to me, I, Daniel, had been in mourning for three whole weeks. All that time I had eaten no rich food. No meat or wine crossed my lips, and I used no fragrant lotions until those three weeks had passed.

Clarke’s Commentary on the Bible

I– was mourning three full weeks – The weeks are most probably dated from the time of the termination of the last vision. Calmet proves this by several reasons. I ate no pleasant bread – This fast was rather a general abstinence; living all the while on coarse and unsavory food; drinking nothing but water; not using the bath, and most probably wearing haircloth next the skin, during the whole of the time.

  • Thursday – Psalms 30:1-5
  • Friday – Ecclesiastes 3:-8
  • Saturday – Ephesians 5:1-3
  • Sunday – Isaiah 41:10
