Luk 8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. Luk 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Luk 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have....

David pleaded for cleansing from his sin but he also asked that the Lord would restore to him the joy of salvation; the joy and gladness that the psalmist-prophet had lost. Here we consider what the essence of spiritual joy is, how Satan tries to trick us out of its experience and how it is to be recovered by those who have fallen into sin.

David's sins were great but His Saviour's grace is greater. In Psalm 51 the broken and humiliated sinner sought forgiveness from the LORD upon the promises of God's own covenant mercy and with an eye to the Lord Jesus Christ. David is an example for us all.

Jonah's little book teaches us much about God's sovereignty and dominion in this world. This is God's world and He is doing His good pleasure in it to do His people good and accomplish His purpose. May we all have a sense of the precious value of a soul that the Lord Jesus came to die for.

Jonah's anger at the Lord seems astonishing. How can such a thing be justified? It cannot. Nevertheless, we all are prone to Jonah's sin for our own personal reasons when Satan temps us to despair and we look for someone to blame. May we learn from Jonah and be protected by the same God who patiently cared for His wayward prophet.
