Truth:
1. God's intention with man for the accomplishment of His economy needs a pleasant situation, a pleasant environment.
2. Without Satan, the excellency, the majesty, the wisdom, and the marvelous, wonderful points of God could never be exhibited.
3. It is possible to pray to God, love God, praise God, and work for God according to the line of the knowledge of good and evil.
4. Faith is to stop our work, to stop our doing. Faith is to trust in the Lord. The principle of the Sabbath is you have to cease your work because God is everything to you.
5. The only way we can take refuge in the Son is to stop our doing.
Life experience/Application:
1. Lord, I can do nothing and i do not want to do anything. I just want to enjoy You, to partake of You, to experience You, to live You, and to express You.
2. The Lord must be first in our marriage, in our spending of money, and in our demeanor.
3. Do we love people and help people by ourselves or by Christ?
4. Regardless of how good something is, God only cares for who does it. God wants us to live Him, but not by ourselves. God wants us to express Him, but not by ourselves. We have to stop our expression. We have to put our trust in Him and let Him live in us and out of us. Then whatever we do will be an honor and a glory to God.

Psa Msg 6
Truth:
1. In the whole universe, there is only one person who is perfect according to the law -- Jesus Christ.
2. David had a good concept that the One who is sitting on the throne judges in righteousness and with justice. But this concept is according to the law and tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
3. David did not praise God for the nations to be saved by God's grace, but for the nations perishing.
4. God's throne today is not a throne of the King of authority. His throne today is the throne of a loving Savior.
Life experience/Application:
1. In today's NT age, could we go to God and ask Him to put down our enemies, the ones that hate us? We cannot do this because the NT tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.
2. When we read the Holy Bible, we should not understand it according to our way or our concept. A person may be very scholarly and learned and yet receive nothing of the divine revelation from the Bible.

Psa Msg 5
Truth:
1. Above the heavens there is splendor, and on the earth, there is the excellent name. But in between the heavens and the earth, there are the adversaries within, the enemy without, and the avenger running back and forth.
2. All the people who are in the kingdom of the heavens are either babes or sucklings.
3. Weaker ones in themselves cannot praise. To praise requires strength. Without strength, we cannot praise the Lord.
4. If there is no death, there is no resurrection, and if there is no resurrection, there is no ascension. Furthermore, without His incarnation and human living, He was not qualified to die.
5. Above David in the heavens was the glory, and with David on this earth was an excellent name.
6. In this view David had a pure vision to see the pure work in God's creation and ordination. In the universe there is not only God's creation but also God's ordination.
7. The Lord's redemption is to turn us from the messy earth to the bright heaven.
8. Condition-wise, Christ is in glory. Position-wise, Christ is in honor.
9. To be crowned with honor implies the ascension.
Life experience/Application:
1. Some praises may not be considered as perfected praises, because they are not so full of strength.
2. Today with us, the earth is joined to the heavens, the heavens are brought down to the earth, and the two are one. But with the unbelieving ones and with the defeated Christians, the heavens are far away and the earth is dark and messy. That is why the unbelievers need all kinds of worldly amusements and sinful pleasures. But we do not need them. We need only Christ and the church life. When we live Christ and live in the church life, the heavens and the earth are one.
3. When a person becomes regenerated, he becomes quiet, not wanting to act or speak in himself.
4. We need to praise Him for His splendor above the heavens and His excellency on earth.
5. When we come to the Lord's table, we stop every kind of human speaking and human doing.
6. Our Christian life should be like the Lord's table. When we go home after the Lord's table, we should continue to praise the Lord.
