See if I do not henceforth by Thy grace keep my feet off every slippery street. That, and many other things like that, was the way that Job made his so noble covenant with his eyes in his day and in his land. And it was because he so made and so kept his covenant that God so boasted over him and said, Hast thou considered my servant Job? The other side of Job's covenant, of which God Himself was the surety, you can read and think over in your solitary lodgings to-night. |
