wrote a note on 2 Samuel 2:1 NASB
David waits and asks of the Lord - we learn that waiting may be what the LORD is calling us to do so that in His time, by His power and for His glory He might bring about the accomplishment of His will. It is difficult for us "doers" to sit still and hear words like "Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Ps 46:10+). And yet waiting may be the most "productive" thing we can do, for Isaiah writes "Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength (EXCHANGE THEIR "STRENGTH" FOR HIS STRENGTH!); They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.." (Isaiah 40:31+). … Expand

wrote a note on Psalms 3:3 NASB
Ro 8:30+ speaks of believers as are already (past-tense) "glorified," so certain is our future glorification. But there is a present glory that is His to be had. Paul writes now as we "we all, with unveiled face, (are) beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord (especially in the Word of God), (we) are being (continually) transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit." (2Cor 3:18+) … Expand

vs 3-6: Though his enemies are as in the earlier verses, immediately David declares his confidence and trust in the Lord. 3-Our Lord is the shield in our spiritual battles. (Eph 6:16 - shield of faith) (Gen 15:1- I am your shield) My glory speaks of his possession and his source of glory. Ro 8:30+ speaks of believers as are already (past-tense) "glorified," so certain is our future glorification. But there is a present glory that is His to be had.

wrote a note on Genesis 1:1 NASB
They classify creation by the Almighty God as a "myth!" One day they will learn that Paul was right when he wrote "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools (PUTTING DIVINE CREATION IN THE CATEGORY OF "MYTH!")." (Ro 1:20-22+) … Expand
