Notes

I read in Habakkuk today, and I was struck by the thoughts at the end of chapter 2.  The heathen speak to their voiceless idols saying, "Awake, Awake."  But... the Lord is in His holy temple, let all the earth keep silent before Him.  While we have been granted access to the throne of grace freely, it is not just to speak.  Yet, I find that it is extremely difficult to see the Lord in His holy temple and also keep silent.  The cluttered mind and lack of natural stillness needs to be remedied, by grace.  May I learn to be still before the throne!

I posted a bit at the "family" blog today since it is the 121st year since my great-grandmother was born.

Finally, I have recently been finding a wealth of commentaries on Google Books that are on various lists of "best" commentaries.  Obviously the value of them varies, but I found books by Keil, Delitzsch, G. Campbell Morgan, F. B. Meyer, Westcott, A. J. Gordon, Andrew Bonar, A. T. Robertson, John Owen, Spurgeon, John Calvin, Martin Luther, John Broadus, A. C. Gaebelein, Charles Hodge, and A. W. Pink.  The significance is not so much in the details as in the vast array of resouces that are available.  Besides all that, there is much available in areas of church history and theology as well.
