9. Thou preparedst room before it. The
weeds, brambles, and huge stones were cleared; the Amorites, and their brethren
in iniquity, were made to quit the scene, their forces were routed, their kings
slain, their cities captured, and Canaan became like a plot of land made ready
for a vineyard. And didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. Israel became settled and established as a vine well rooted, and then
it began to flourish and to spread on every side. This analogy might be applied
to the experience of every believer in Jesus. The Lord has planted us, we are
growing downward, “rooting roots,” and by his grace we are also growing visibly bigger. The same is true
of the church, for at this moment through the goodwill of the dresser of the
vineyard her branches spread far and wide.
