18. Behold. For this is a greater
wonder than hosts and horses, a surer confidence than chariots or shields. Theeye of the Lord is upon them thatfear him. That eye of especial care is their glory and defense. None can
take them unawares, for the celestial watcher foresees the designs of their
enemies, and provides against them. They who fear God need not fear anything
else; let them fix their eye of faith on him, and his eye of love will always
rest upon them. Upon them that hope in his mercy. This one would think
to be a small evidence of grace, and yet it is a valid one. Humble hope will
have its share as well as courageous faith. These gentle words, like soft
bread, are meant for babes in grace, who need infants’ food.
