Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [4]
Psalm 87:7 (a) David is telling us that all the source of his joy, hope, happiness and enrichment comes from the Lord, and not from any earthly conditions, situations or riches. He depended only on the living GOD to satisfy every longing of his heart.
Proverbs 25:26 (a) The righteous man is not supposed to be influenced by the wicked, nor fall down in obedience to the wicked desires. If he does so, then the product of his life is only evil and injurious to others. He becomes a stumbling stone to those who expected better things from him.
Song of Solomon 4:12 (a) It is quite evident that the church of GOD is under consideration in this passage. She should be giving forth rich blessings to all those around. She should be bringing the Living Water (the Holy Spirit). to everyone that she can reach. There should be flowing from the church of GOD constantly spiritual blessings that will bring light, life and peace to the multitudes. Instead of this the church has in many cases become a social club, with the Word of GOD neglected, the Spirit of GOD ignored, and no spiritual blessing being given out to the people.
Isaiah 41:18 (c) It is true that our Lord is at the present time changing the desert into a garden in the land of Philistine. It is also true that in a typical sense the Lord does take the weary, worn and dried up Christian and sends into his life the Holy Spirit of GOD who is the Living Water, so that the life becomes radiant, fruitful and beautiful.
Isaiah 58:11 (a) In this beautiful picture we see the story of a child of GOD who walks with GOD, loves his Lord, obeys His Lord and permits the Holy Spirit, who is the Living Water, to flow through him into the lives of many. That one is satisfied with GOD's plans. He grows in grace. He shows forth the loveliness of his Lord, and lives a constantly beautiful life. Nothing stops his song, or his service.
