While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. God’s
terrors had become more overwhelming and had driven the man to despair. He
could not judge and weigh his own condition in a calm and rational manner.
Sickness alone will thus distract the mind; and when a sense of divine anger is
added thereto, it is not to be wondered at if reason finds it hard to hold the
reins. How near akin to madness the soul-depression sometimes may be, it is not
our province to decide; but we speak what we do know when we say that a
featherweight might be sufficient to turn the scale at times. You who yet
retain your reason, thank God that the devil himself cannot add that feather
while the Lord stands by to adjust all things.
