or 1 Samuel 17:40 (c) This may be taken as a figure of the Word of GOD from which we may take portions and passages (stones), to hurl at GOD's enemies.
1 Kings 17:5 (c) This may be taken as a picture of the temporary character of the pleasures and programs which the world offers to the soul.
Job 6:15 (b) Here we have an indication of the vacillating character of human relationships. The best of friends separate. The sweetest fellowships often turn to bitter animosities.
Psalm 42:1 (b) This is a type of the rich blessings found in the Word of GOD, and in His fellowship by those who seek Him with the whole heart.
Psalm 110:7 (b) Possibly this brook refers to the intimate fellowship that JESUS had with His Father as He communed with Him in prayer, and learned of Him in His study of the Word.
Proverbs 18:4 (b) Here is described the refreshing, life-giving character of man's helpful counsel to his fellowmen.
Isaiah 15:7 (c) Possibly this is a reference to the transient character of possessions which will soon be carried away by the stream of time. We too should remember to keep short accounts with GOD. When we fail or falter, when we drift around and wander, let us come back to Calvary and look up to that precious One who is living on the Throne and whose blood cleanseth from all sin. There is no excuse for any Christian remaining out of fellowship with GOD.
