On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Life is desirable in order to serve God; that we may do so aright, we should seek to have our eyes opened to behold His truth, and earnestly desire fully to understand it.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Both the good head and the good heart are from the good grace of God, and both are necessary to every good work. That God would make him able to do his duty: " Make me to go; strengthen me for every good work." Since we are not sufficient of ourselves, our dependence must be upon the grace of God, for from him all our sufficiency is.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
