Psalms 55:7. Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
Why, David had been in the wilderness, and then he sighed to get back to the temple of God; but such foolish creatures are we at our very wisest that we know not what we sigh for. It was good for David that he had not wings, and it is good for you that you cannot run away. God has made you no armor for your back because you must go forward. Long ago he burnt our boats. We cannot return. We must "forward" now to the eternal victories in his strength.
