2 Chronicles 35:21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day… Haste is not hurry. Hurry implies confusion and disorder. It is not the same with speed. I. WHAT IT REFERS TO. We should not err were we to apply it to the duties of relative and secular life. It applies particularly — 1. To the salvation of the soul. 2. To a course of godliness. 3. To labour for the welfare of others (Proverbs 3:27, 28). II. ON WHAT IT IS FOUNDED. 1. The importance of the thing itself. 2. The limitation of our opportunities. 3. This only season is short. (W. Jay.) Parallel Verses KJV: But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not. |
