Henry: discontent

Friday, November 15, 2024
    Commemoration of Oswald Chambers, spiritual writer, 1917
Meditation:
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me:
    and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
    —Psalm 50:23 (KJV)
Quotation:
    No condition of life will of itself make a man content, without the grace of God; for we find Haman discontented in the court, Ahab discontented on the throne, Adam discontented in paradise; nay, and higher we cannot go, the angels that fell discontented in heaven itself.
    ... Matthew Henry (1662-1714), The life of the Rev. Philip Henry, A.M. [1697], London: B. J. Holdsworth, 1825, p. 237 (see the book)
    See also Ps. 50:23; 145:1-2; 2 Cor. 9:8; 1 Tim. 6:6; Heb. 13:5; 2 Pet. 1:4
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, let Your contentment descend upon me. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
