Hymns: RHC 338 Show Me Thy Way, O Lord, 409 Take Time to Be Holy, 423 Follow, I Will Follow Thee

Psalm 37:1-40 (KJV)

1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

William MacDonald said well, “To summarize, then, the Apostle Paul sets forth the following controls for the use of tongues in the local church:
1. We must not forbid the use of tongues (v. 39).
2. If a man speaks in a tongue, there must be an interpreter (vv. 27c, 28).
3. Not more than three may speak in tongues in any one meeting (v. 27a).
4. They must speak one at a time (v. 27b).
5. What they say must be edifying (v. 26b).
6. The women must be silent (v. 34).
7. Everything must be done decently and in order (v. 40).
These are the abiding controls which apply to the church in our day.”

The gift of prophecy is highlighted here to be useful for the strengthening of the faith of the saints. When the Word of God is preached and taught, when doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness is meted out, God’s people grow in spiritual maturity. This is useful. The people of God are therefore encouraged to keep up and keep on hearing the sound preaching and teaching of God’s Word.

When God gives His Word, it is to be imbibed and assimilated and acted upon for our well-being. The Apostle Paul whilst giving the Lord’s instruction also saw that there are those who would choose to disobey these divine instructions. He has highlighted that these were not his words but the very words of God. They are to be obeyed.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

This hymn was written by Helen Lemmel (1863-1961), a gifted singer and musician born in England later moved to the United States together at the age of 12. The song was inspired by a tract written by Lilias Trotter, a missionary to Algeria entitled “Focussed”. Trotter was writing about having the right focus on Jesus Christ puts the whole jigsaw puzzle of life in a blessed order. She gave this godly advice for keeping one’s life moving in the right direction:

Turn your soul’s vision to Jesus, and look and look at Him, and a strange dimness will come over all that is apart from Him.

“Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus” is the one that has continued to find its way into many hymnals and into human hearts because it holds out a promise of Jesus’ help for troubled souls.

The women folk in the church are instructed by the Apostle Paul ask their husbands at home for any questions they may have concerning any matter because the husband is the person God has appointed for this purpose. This instruction was given that all things be done decently and in order in the church of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 14:40).

The Apostle Paul instructed that women are to keep silence in the churches. They are commanded to be under obedience, submissive to their husbands.

He explains this in 1 Timothy 2:11-15 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
