Verse 1...
"Come, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD,
who stand by night in the house of the LORD!"
Spurgeon summarizes that this brief psalm "teaches us to pray for those
who are continually ministering before the Lord, and it invites all
ministers to pronounce benedictions upon their loving and prayerful
people."
In light of some disturbing trends in our culture (and my Facebook newsfeed), I find the following comment from Spurgeon very edifying to my heart: "When night settles down on a church the Lord has His watchers and holy ones still guarding His truth, and these must not be discouraged, but must bless the Lord even when the darkest hours draw on. Be it ours to cheer them, and lay upon them this charge—to bless the Lord at all times, and let His praise be continually in their mouths."
