When The Lord Arose For The Meek

The way to evaluate the progress of the gospel and the future cause of Christ in the world is not by what has passed but by what is promised in the Word of God. These verses encourage the contrite to look to the power and promises of God which will confound the wishes of all the church's enemies but bring joy to the meek.

1. Joy and dismay at the work of the Lord, v5.
2. The folly of fighting against God, v6.
3. The Lord able to perform, v7,8.
4. The certainty of the word of the Lord, v9.
