mhcc@Genesis:33:1-16 @ Verse 1-16 - Jacob, having by prayer committed his case to God, went on his way. Come what will, nothing can come amiss to him whose heart is fixed, trusting in God. Jacob bowed to Esau. A humble, submissive behaviour goes far towards turning away wrath. Esau embraced Jacob. God has the hearts of all men in his hands, and can turn them when and how he pleases. It is not in vain to trust in God, and to call upon him in the day of trouble. And when a man's ways please the Lord he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Esau receives Jacob as a brother, and much tenderness passes between them. Esau asks, Who are those with thee? To this common question, Jacob spoke like himself, like a man whose eyes are ever directed towards the Lord. Jacob urged Esau, though his fear was over, and he took his present. It is well when men's religion makes them generous, free-hearted, and open-...they blame, and perhaps mock at,...40:11. As parents, teachers or pastors, we should all follow his example.

Some, by the adulterous woman, here understand idolatry, false doctrine, which tends to lead astray men's minds and manners; but the direct view is to warn against seventh-...ourselves into temptation we mock God...-ruined sinner in the eternal world, enduring the remorse of his conscience!

mhcc@Proverbs:14:1 @ Verse 1 -...than mourned over. Fools mock at...-offering; but those that make light of sin, make light of Christ.10. We do not know what stings of conscience, or consuming passions, torment the prosperous sinner. Nor does the world know the peace of mind a serious Christian enjoys, even in poverty and sickness.11. Sin ruins many great families; whilst righteousness often raises and strengthens even mean families.12. The ways of carelessness, of worldliness, and of sensuality, seem right to those that walk in them; but self-deceivers prove self-destroyers. See the vanity of carnal mirth.14. Of all sinners backsliders will have the most terror when they reflect on their own ways.15. Eager readiness to believe what others say, has ever proved mischievous. The whole world was thus ruined at first. The man who is spiritually wise, depends on the Saviour alone for acceptance. He is watchful against the enemies of his salvation, by taking heed to God's word.16. Holy fear guards against every thing unholy.17. An angry man is to be pitied as well as blamed; but the revengeful is more hateful.

mhcc@Proverbs:29:1 @ Verse 1 - If God wounds, who can heal? The word of God warns all to flee from the wrath to come, to the hope set before us in Jesus Christ.2. The people have cause to rejoice or mourn, as their rulers are righteous or wicked.3. Divine wisdom best keeps us from ruinous lusts.4. The Lord Jesus is the King who will minister true judgment to the people.5. Flatterers put men off their guard, which betrays them into foolish conduct.6. Transgressions always end in vexations. Righteous men walk at liberty, and walk in safety.7. This verse is applicable to compassion for the distress of the poor, and the unfeeling disregard shown by the wicked.8. The scornful mock at things sacred and serious. Men who promote religion, which is true wisdom, turn away the wrath of God.9. If a wise man dispute with a conceited wrangler, he will be treated with anger or ridicule; and no good is done.10. Christ told his disciples that they should be hated of all men. The just, whom the blood-thirsty hate, gladly do any thing for their salvation.

He confessed, but not to God; he did not go to him, and say, I have sinned, Father, against heaven. Let none be satisfied with such partial convictions as a man may have, and yet remain full of pride, enmity, and rebellion.

These evil men and seducers are angry at every thing that happens, and never pleased with their own state and condition. Their will and their fancy, are their only rule and law. Those who please their sinful appetites, are most prone to yield to ungovernable passions. The men of God, from the beginning of the world, have declared the doom denounced on them. Such let us avoid. We are to follow men only as they follow Christ.
