Who Putteth Our Soul in Life
" Who Putteth Our Soul in Life."—Thus reads a clause of Ps. 66: 9 in the Revised Versions, so also the marginal Hebrew of our common version. It implies that naturally our soul is not in life, but in death, in dying. And so it is; for "the carnal mind is enmity against God," and to be carnally minded is death. It is out in the great sea of death, drifting to everlasting oblivion; but if the soul is yielded to God, He reacheth down His great, strong, mighty hand and "putteth our soul in life," baptizes it into the Holy Spirit. It is for us to choose—carnality, sin, and death; or Christ, righteousness, and life.
