Daily Bible Verse - 6/12/2007 - Matthew 3:17

Today's Verse

And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." (NIV)

And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (KJV)

and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." (NASB)

Matthew 3:17

Commentary

The Father's voice was heard from heaven pronouncing His blessing on Jesus. It was a memorable event because the voice of God was heard quoting Scripture: "This is My beloved Son (from Ps. 2:7) in whom I am well pleased"(from Isa. 42:1). This is one of three occasions when the Father spoke from heaven in delighted acknowledgment of His unique Son (the other places are Matt. 17:5 and John 12:28).

Daily Bible Verse - 6/11/2007 - Psalm 32:8-9

Today's Verse

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.

Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you. (NIV)

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. (KJV)


I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you with My eye upon you.
Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you. (NASB)

Psalm 32:8-9

Commentary

The speaker changes. The Lord "comes into the psalm" to instruct the people. He exhorts the people not to be like a horse that will not go where its rider wants it to go; it has to be disciplined because it is stubborn. God does not want to muzzle or bridle His people like a horse. He expects His servants to respond promptly to Him of their own accord.

Radmacher, Earl D. ; Allen, Ronald Barclay ; House, H. Wayne: Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Commentary. Nashville : T. Nelson Publishers, 1999, S. Ps 32:8-9
