But I will come into
thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I
worship toward thine holy Temple.
Brethren:
The god fearing man,
the one who reverences and believes upon His mercy, will worship Him
in His house. He will commune with Him, daily, alone and likewise
with others of the same beliefs.
Make note friends
that He also dwells within us, so the Holy temple is also within us.
It matters little where this time of worship occurs, but that it does
occur is of utmost importance. Seek Him and He shall be found by
you. (Read Psalm 63:1-3; Jeremiah 29:3) - Doktor Riktor Von Zhades -
Servant of Christ
“ God is rich in
mercy, abundant in goodness and truth; there is a multitude of mercy,
love, and grace in his heart, and which is stored up in his covenant,
and displayed in his Son, and in the provision of him as a Saviour of
lost sinners; abundant mercy is shown in regeneration, in adoption,
and in the forgiveness of sins, and in every spiritual blessing, and
in the gift of eternal life. And now, not relying on his own merits,
strength, and righteousness, or leaning to his own understanding, but
trusting in the mercy, grace, and goodness of God in Christ, and in
hope of finding more grace and mercy to help in time of need; with
thankfulness for what he had received, he determines, by divine leave
and assistance, to enter, into the house of the Lord: and whatever
other persons did, whom he had before described, it was his
resolution to serve the Lord, under a sense of his mercy and goodness
to him; which laid him under an obligation so to do, and is the true
principle from which all service should proceed.
The habitation of
God's holiness, towards which, and to God there, the psalmist would
lift up his eyes, his hands, and heart; at the door of which the
worship [where] God met his people; and therefore he says he would
worship towards the temple or tabernacle. David has reference to the
Messiah, the medium of divine worship; whose human nature was
typified by the tabernacle and temple, in which the fulness of the
Godhead dwells: the psalmist therefore purposes to worship God in
Christ, and to perform all acts of worship, as prayer, praise,
hearing the word, offering sacrifice in the name and faith of Christ;
looking towards him for the presentation of his services by him, and
for the acceptance of them with God through him: and this he desired
to do in the "fear" of God; not with a slavish fear, but
with reverence and godly fear; with a fear influenced by the
multitude of God's mercy, grace, and goodness, in art humble modest
manner, not trusting to, or depending upon, any service.” - John
Gill - 17th Century Theologian
