5. The man of God looks calmly forward to dark times when those evils
which have dogged his heels will gain a temporary advantage over him. Theiniquity of [our] heels is that evil which aims to trip us up or impede us.
In some dreary part of our road it may be that evil will wax stronger, and
gaining upon us will openly assail us. We will not even fear, for there can be
no real ground of alarm to the faithful. Their enemies are too insignificant to
be worthy of one thrill of fear. Does not the Lord say to us, “I, even I, am he that comforteth thee: who art thou, that thou shouldest
be afraid of a man that shall die?”
