Psalm 25:1-3 To you, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.… It is not easy to do this. "My soul cleaveth unto the dust." We may lift up hands and eyes and voices, but it is another thing to uplift the soul. Yet without this there is no real devotion. And the Christian will be no more satisfied than God. This marks the spiritual worshipper. He may have failed in words, but his soul has been lifted up to God. And the spirituality of religion is its enjoyment. It is good to draw near to God. Then we attend on the Lord without distraction. And when such a worshipper comes forth he will recommend Christ to others, and that not without effect. For his profiting will appear unto all men. His face shines. His heart speaks. His life speaks. His character speaks. He cannot but do good, even without design and without effort. (W. Jay.) Parallel Verses KJV: {A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. |
