Doctrine 7. The strength and power of God should stirre us up to subjection towards him.
This is gathered from verse 6 at the beginning.
Reason 1. Because it were madnesse to resist the Almighty.
2. Because Gods omnipotencie is the protection of those that humble themselves before him.
Vse. This may serve to admonish us, not to suffer our selves so much as in thought to be led away from our obedience towards God, but from the meditation of Gods omnipotency and our own infirmity to increase daily more and more in humility.
Doctrine 8. God will exalt the humble in due time.
This is gathered from verse 6 at the end.
Reason 1. Because glory is the reward of obedience.
2. Because they glorifie God, and therefore God will exalt them according to his promise, Those that honour me, I will honour.
Vse. This may serve to direct us, to seek for true exaltation by humilitie and submission.
