For thy names sake lead me and guide me. Pull me out of the net.. Psalms 31:3-5. When the ark set forward, Moses said, rise up, Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee. Numbers 10:35.
Every one has his own particular gift, as also his own particular enemies, who lay various nets and hindrances in his way. But as every body must clear the way for a king, when he travels, much more for our enemies, when the King of kings guides us and goes before us. Grant only, O Lord, that all my going and resting may be done at thy hints. Numbers 4:17-23. Be gloriously pleased to go always before me, and to make room, that mine enemies may be scattered and fall into their own nets. For thou who dwelleth in heaven, laughest at all, even at mine inward spiritual enemies, and art willing and able to confound the greatest craft and power even of the most inveterate and dangerous. And “since thou enlightens my darkness, and art a buckler to all those that trust in thee, and not only teachest my hands to war, but even fightest for me as the God of my covenant,” (Psalms 18:23-36) I shall surely come off more than conqueror.
My faith would seize some promise, Lord,
There’s power and safety in thy word;
Not all that earth and hell can say,
Shall tempt or drive my soul away.
