For the LORD shall not leave his people, neither shall he forsake his inheritance. Psalm 9414. No, he will not reject any of them. Men abandon or reject; The Lord never, for his election is invariable and his love eternal. There will not be found a single soul that God has abandoned, after she has revealed herself to be her salvation.This great truth is affirmed in this psalm, to strengthen the afflicted hearts. The Lord chastisth his own, but do not forsake them. The result of this double action of the law and its rod is our instruction; And the fruit of this instruction is an appeasement of mind, and an inner wisdom which lead to a tranquil repose.The infidels are left to themselves until they finally fall into the pit they have dug: while the believers are put in a school whose purpose is to prepare them for the glorious destinies that await them. The judgment will later reach the rebels and complete the work of justice, avenging, at the same time, men of integrity and pious.Let us bear the punishment with a subdued submission, for its motive is not love but love. I receive with joy, All that God sends me; And in adversity, when his hand chastises me, Of a God who humbles me I respect the will.
