11. They have now compassed us inour steps. The fury of
the ungodly is aimed not at one believer alone, but at all the band: they have compassedus. The prince of darkness hates all the saints for their Master’s sake.
The Lord Jesus is one of us, and herein is our hope. He is the Breaker, and
will clear a way for us through the hosts which environ us. The hatred of the
powers of evil is continuous and energetic, for they watch every step.
How anxiously should we guard all our movements, lest by any means we should be
betrayed into evil! They have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
The enemy watches the steps of the righteous, as if they studied the ground on
which they trod, and searched after some wrong footmark to accuse them for the
past, or some stumbling-stone to cast in their future path to trip them in days
to come.
