Psalms 33:17-18. Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy,
Beautiful expression! I always like that mixture of fear and hope. An old fisherman used to compare it to his net. "Fear," said he, "is the weight that sinks it, and hope is the cork that floats it." To make a perfect character, there must he both fear and hope. The man that never fears may begin to fear; but he that is all fear is a miserable creature. God help him to begin to hope!
