Even so the very frame and construction of the spiritual life were formed with a view to trials. Jerusalem was walled because enemies were expected; David built towers and armouries because he looked for war; and what mean the graces of faith and patience unless affliction is to be reckoned on? Our glorious Leader would never have armed and armoured all his followers if there had not been allotted to them a wrestling with principalities and powers. See how Paul, in the same chapter in which he tells us of the panoply of God, reminds us of the adversaries whom we shall surely encounter. Has the Lord made thee to be strong in faith and brave in heart? Then be not surprised if thy stout ship is sent to traverse stormy seas. God doth not throw away strength by putting it where it will never be needed. Storms will surely come where grace is given to bear them, and through these storms grace will develop into glory (C. H. Spurgeon.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.<\/strong>—<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n God over man<\/strong><\/p>\n (1)<\/strong> In the service of God, in which he was engaged<\/p>\n (2)<\/strong> with a single eye to Gods glory<\/p>\n (3)<\/strong> with all his heart,<\/p>\n (4)<\/strong> and under the Divine direction.<\/p>\n (1)<\/strong> Special, as to his person, circumstances, etc.<\/p>\n (2)<\/strong> Complete, in going out, returning, etc.<\/p>\n (3)<\/strong> Constant, by day and by night, in youth, manhood, age, health, sickness, etc.<\/p>\n Application.
