[Songs in the Night - February 2]
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Psalm 149:5
THE Psalmist here foretells that the saints at this
time are at rest upon their beds, while they sing God's
praise.
The statement might be meaningless to us
until we understand from other Scriptures that these
beds represent creeds or the sum total of one's religious
belief....The true saints of God have at this
time beds of full and proper size, and a cover which is
warm and ample.
They are shown in this prophetic
picture as taking their ease, resting in faith, while
others are restless and uncomfortable.
But while
thus resting in these good beds, representing their
mental attitude and heart condition, and while
praising the Lord, they are using skilfully the "two-edged
sword."
This sword in their hands is the Bible. Z'15-346 R5804:2 (Hymn 182)
