9. Amid the terror of the storm Jehovah the Avenger descended, bending
beneath his foot the arch of heaven. He came in haste, and spurned everything
which impeded his rapidity. The thickest gloom concealed his splendor; he
fought within the dense vapors, as a warrior in clouds of smoke and dust, and
found out the hearts of his enemies. Darkness is no impediment to God; its
densest gloom he makes his tent and secret pavilion. See how prayer moves earth
and heaven, and raises storms to overthrow in a moment the foes of God’s
Israel. Things were bad for David before he prayed, but they were much worse
for his foes so soon as the petition had gone up to heaven. A trustful heart,
by enlisting the divine aid, turns the tables on its enemies. If I must have an
enemy let him not be a man of prayer, or he will get the better of me by
calling his God into the quarrel.
