Notice:
As parable (see ), this Psalm, while accounting the earthly history of Israel, is full of heavenly meaning and spiritual significance to help us "set our hope in God, and not forget His works ().
Notice:
I.
The Place of Thirst ().
Note - "In the wilderness" - place of trials; fraught with failure and doubt.
Note - Can God? or God Can!
Illustration: Maze Jackson Sermon
Note - In the wilderness, the Israelites were completely dependent on God for everything (i.e.
Ein Avdat; Zin River)
Application: While we're "in the world", we to are completely dependent on God, and must live by faith in the Son of God.
II.
The Provided Blessings ().
A. The Realness - "Drink"
Note - Real Provision - "Drink" - for Real Needs.
See also ; ;
Is. 55:6
Rev. 22:
Note - It must be appropriated, "drink"
Note - It will satisfy
Application: Compare the Gospel's refreshment to them that believe.
B. The Realization - "Clave"
Note - Moses smote the rock, but Jehovah clave it so that streams of living water gushed forth!
See
Note - The life-giving, soul-saving treasure was hidden inside the rock until it was broken and opened by the grace of God!
Application: See
III.
The Price of the Blessing - "He gave" ()
Note - It's free
Note - It's full; see (gushed out...overflowed)
Application: see , for by grace are ye saved...
IV.
The Provenance (Source) of the Blessing - "out of the great depth" ()
Note - Not surface water
Note - Beyond reach until God intervened to cleave the rock
Note - The Water of Life comes from the Cleft Rock of Ages:
He who ascended, first descended into the great depths to once for all make full propitiation for the sins of the world ()
See for the Godhead's involvement
Christ is the "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" ()
This blessing is sourced in the unsearchable riches of Christ.
There's no merit in man.
Apart from God's unfathomable love toward us, we'd be doomed (see ; ).
Conclusion:
O Taste and See that the Lord is Good.
Come to this Table of Remembrance and Drink from the Great Depths of the Love of God
Remember the Cleft Rock of Ages from which Issues the Soul-saving Water of Eternal Life
