Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD
~ Psalm 31:24 ~
Matthew Henry's Commentary 31:19-24 Instead of yielding to impatience or despondency under our troubles,
we should turn our thoughts to the goodness of the Lord towards those who fear
and trust in Him. All comes to sinners through the wondrous gift of the
only-begotten Son of God, to be the atonement for their sins. Let not any yield
to unbelief, or think, under discouraging circumstances, that they are cut off
from before the eyes of the Lord, and left to the pride of men. Lord, pardon our
complaints and fears; increase our faith, patience, love, and gratitude; teach
us to rejoice in tribulation and in hope. The deliverance of Christ, with the
destruction of his enemies, ought to strengthen and comfort the hearts of
believers under all their afflictions here below, that having suffered
courageously with their Master, they may triumphantly enter into his joy and
glory.
