16. O turn unto me. One turn of God’s face
will turn all our darkness into day. And have mercy upon me. That is all
he asks, for he is lowly in heart; that is all he wants, for mercy answers all
a sinner’s needs. Give thy strength unto thy servant. Gird me with it
that I may serve thee; guard me with it that I may not be overcome. When the
Lord gives us his own strength we are sufficient for all emergencies, and have
no cause to fear any adversaries. And save the son of thine handmaid. As
the sons of slaves were their master’s property by their birth, so he gloried
in being the son of a woman who herself belonged to the Lord. What others might
think a degrading illustration he uses with delight, to show how intensely he
loved the Lord’s service.
