Look Thou Upon Me, and Be Merciful Unto Me

The sermon explores Psalm 119:132, arguing that the psalmist's plea for mercy is a natural and necessary response to the illumination of God's Word. It emphasizes that true divine inspiration does not lead to intellectual pride or arrogance, but rather to a deepened sense of humility and a longing for God's favor. The speaker highlights the phrase "as thou usest to do" as a call to remember the historical faithfulness of God to His people, drawing from church history and the testimonies of previous generations. This remembrance serves as a foundation for hope, encouraging believers to pass down a legacy of God's mercy to their children. The message concludes with a pastoral exhortation for parents and older Christians to actively teach the younger generation about God's works and mercies, ensuring that the next generation is equipped with a robust faith rooted in the character of God.
