Psalms 66:12. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water:
It was the full ordeal. One was not enough. Fire destroys some, but water is the test for others, but God’s people must be tried both ways. "We went through fire and through water; but" - . Blessed "but."
Psalms 66:12. But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
Out of the fire and out of the water they came, because God brought them, and when he brought them, it was not to a stinted, barren heritage, but into a wealthy place. Oh! beloved, when we think of where the covenant of grace has placed every believer, it is a wealthy place, indeed.
