IV.—The Effects of the Service.
Project Gutenberg EPUB edition
Champness, Thomas
First, there was sorrow of heart. No one can understand the Bible and not be moved. The Levites, however, showed their people that God would like them to be happy. Those who weep over the Bible may well be comforted. Let those weep who have not listened to God’s word.
One blessed result of the sacred joy which followed the weeping, was the
help rendered to the poor, “send portions.”
(verses 10-12). It would be well if, after every good time we had at chapel, we made the poor to rejoice. If God feeds you with the Bread of Life, send a loaf of bread or a bit of meat to some who are likely to go hungry!
Let the godly be glad.
