Psalms 66:5-12 - Homilies By C. Short

An invitation to study God's marvellous works towards men.

I. WE SHOULD STUDY THE PHYSICAL WONDERS OF THE WORLD . ( Psalms 66:6 .) He turns the sea into dry land still, and the dry land into sea.

II. WE SHOULD STUDY HIS PROVIDENTIAL RULE IN THE HISTORY OF NATIONS . How he humbles and overthrows those who rebel against his will, and exalts and establishes the people who obey his laws.

III. WE SHOULD STUDY GOD 'S WORK OF SALVATION IN THE WORLD . ( Psalms 66:8 , Psalms 66:9 .) "Who putteth [not 'holdeth'] our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved."

IV. WE SHOULD STUDY GOD 'S METHODS OF TRIAL AND DISCIPLINE FOR MAKING US SPIRITUALLY RICH . ( Psalms 66:10-12 .) "We went through fire and through water; but thou broughtest us out to abundance." - S.
