PARK, West End GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA no pain, no danger no dete n ~stinionials furnished from flI~O1t~ V~~ 'eefor a' ' esf me (By E. 0. ELLER$, Acting Director a Sunday School Course of Moody Bib] Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR JUNE 20 PRAYER FOR THE TEMPTED. LESSON TEXT-Psalm 141. GOLDEN TEXT-Keep me from th snare which they have, laid for me. Psalm 141:9. The style of this psalm closely re seinbles the known psalms of David it the first part of the psalter. Frorr its structure and character, it in t be credited to David. In it are pre sented complaint, prayer and conti dent hope of relief. It Is a petition fol deliverance from sins to which his at flictions tempted him, and from the enemies who caused his affliction. I. Prayer. "My prayer directed (vv. 1, 2). There is good reason foi believing David wrote this while go ing through the experience recorded in I Samuel 24. It is evident he IN passing through a time of great stres and was in dire need of help for he urges "haste" -in giving heed to hie call, (Luke 18:1-8). David looks tc Jehovah as his only and sure helper We are told to omit the first word "unto" in this verse and to read, "I have called thee." Every human hell had failed and faith fearlessly turns tc God. Can God be urged?. Surely we are taught that God respects hie "remembrancers" who cry "day and night" (Psalm 40:13; 69:17, 18; 76:5; 71:12; 143:7). To fold the hande weakly and to "bide his time" is usu. ally an evidence of spiritual debility and of a desire to shirk the work involved in a true exercise of prayer, True faith knows but one way of de. liverance, that of prayer (Phil..4:6,?), and those who call in faith get deliv erance (Rom. 10:13). Such prayer the fruit of heart and lips, is before God "as incense" and its effectivenese does not depend upon its being pre sented in the tabernacle-it is a "sac rifice" of praise well-pleasing4o God. We are to pray to God through hie Son and in the Holy Spirit. Such l)rayjer is set forth before him as a sacrifice of sweet smelling savor. 11. Practice. "Incline not my hearl to practice wicked works' (v. 4). Such prayer as here suggestei demands a preparation of purity. Ai the "incense" was prepared witi great care (Ex. 30:36) and its fra grance was brought out by fire (Rom 8:26, 27; Eph. 6:18), so likewise ther must be a continual practice of praye and an absence of "wicked works. In no way are we so apt to sin a with our lips, but back of the lips i the heart (Matt. 15:11; Luke 6:45) The tongue can no man tame (Jamel 3:8), yet God is able and his way i to cleanse the fountain. Te hay< the mouth filled first with prayer an' praise and then with evil is contrar3 to reason and to God's commands David recognised that the heart ia the source of "wicked works," and prayei that he be not even "inclined" t< them (Matt. 6:13; Jam. 1:13). If he "keeps the door" we have a safe guard Ps. 127:1). lil.,Position. "Let him reprove me' vv. 5-u. "Faithful are the wounds of a friend." This seems to be the po sition David desired to occupy, one that would be "a kindness" to him Such correction is as sweet oil. Oil is healing and soothing and here sym bolizes the healing effect of correc tion. Fools hate reproof, wise men plead for it. David not only welcomed wisdom but (see R. V.) promises tC pray for such friends when calamitiet! come upon them'and in the time wher they are overcome by wickedness. WVhen such are cast down by the rocky roadside "they shall hear my words,' says David, and they will be sweet The psalmist's experience, when hunt ed as a partridge, taught him how tc appreciate the petitions of Jonathan --his friend, whose words to him were "sweet." A careful reading of verst seven reveals David's dire extremit: (see Am. R. V.). Death stared hin in the face. His soul was torn as "ont ploweth and cleaveth the earth." IV. Protection. "In thee do I put m: trust" (R. V.). Though thus br9ugh low David knew where to turf, an< one to whom he could look. TIh< church of Christ needs to look t< God, to become like him. It needs th< transforming, encouraging, energizin: vision. David is now taking his eyet off the difficulties and fixing them oi the one wvho enables him to over come. "Look unto me and be ye saved." Literally his prayer i1 "make not my soul naked" or "poul not out my soul." Whoever else a man harms by his sin he harms himself most. Saloonkeepers and their sons me frequently fill the grave of the drunk ard. Gamblers nearly all lose their eas: gains. "They that take the sword p,erisl by the sword." Our only safety is J hovah. God is constantly answering thil last prayer, and we do see the wicket falling into their own nets (Ps. 7: 15:16; 37:14, 15; E~x. 7:10). This lesson has a strong temperance suggestion and application. (1) Pray ers that God will hear; (2) Prepara tion of the mouth and heart; (3) Pe tition for reproof to learn thereby (4) Protection from temptation .n trial.
