I HAVE READ THIS CHAPTER BEFORE AND OVERLOOKED SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT BOTH TO ME AND ALL WHO MAKE THE EFFORT TO DEPART FROM INIQUITY. VERSE 15 SAYS WHEN WE DO SO WE MAKE OURSELVES A PREY. THE ENEMY CANNOT STAND TO SEE ANYONE COMMIT HIMSELF TO FOLLOW THE LORD, AND HE BEGINS AT ONCE TO TEAR HIM TO PIECES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS FIRST HAND AND THOUGHT I WAS LITERALLY GOING TO DIE. IT IS IN THE VERSES FOLLOWING THAT WE FIND HOPE.THE LORD BEING DISPLEASED WITH THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO ONE TO PLEAD OUR CAUSE AND INTERCEDE FOR US, RISES UP HIMSELF FOR "him " I ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT THE LORD WAS PLEADING HIS OWN CAUSE, BUT IN READING IT IN THE CONTEXT OF VERSE 15 IT BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT THE LORD IS RISING UP TO MY CRISIS AND DELIVER ME FOM BEING DEVOURED BY THE ENEMY. HALELUJAH!!!
