7. I am as a wonder unto many. Often
the saints’ dark side is gloomy while their bright side is glorious. The
believer is a riddle, puzzling the unspiritual; he is a monster warring with
those delights of the flesh which are the all in all of other people; he is
unaccountable to the judgments of ungodly people, a wonder contemptuously
derided. But thou art my strong refuge. Here is the answer to our
riddle. If we are safe, our refuge shelters us; if we are calm, our soul has
found her stay in God. When faith is understood, and the grounds of her
confidence are seen, the believer is no longer a wonder; but the marvel is that
so much unbelief remains.
