11. Moreover by them is thy servant warned. We are
warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of
life there would be many more wrecks, if it were not for the divine
storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be
our mentor, our monitor, our remembrancer, and the keeper of our conscience. Inkeeping of them there is great reward. Servants of God not only find his
service delightful in itself, but they receive good recompense. Though we earn
no wages of debt, we win great wages of grace. However, the main reward is yet
to come, and the word here used hints at much, for it signifies the “heel,” as if the reward would come to us at the end of life when the work was
done; not while the labor was in the hand, but when it was done and we could
see the heel of it. Oh the glory yet to be revealed!
