A Good Name
"A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth" (Ecclesiastes 7:1).
Judgment Is Coming
"So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" (Romans 14:12).
There is only one thing that is absolutely sure to happen to every person -- everyone will have to face God some day. Not even "death and taxes" are certain for every one, but meeting God for an accounting of one's life is certain!
Where Are the Nine?
"And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?" (Luke 17:17).
Walking in Truth
"I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father" (II John 4).
Man and His Labor
"Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening" (Psalm 104:23).
The 104th Psalm is a beautiful psalm of creation and the Flood, supplemented by God's providential care of His creatures in the post-Flood world. Our text makes man's activity seem almost incidental in the grand scope of God's activities on behalf of His whole creation.
