Psalms 116:8. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Just now, he prayed, "Deliver my soul." He has received the answer to his petition, for he says, "Thou hast delivered my soul from death." He said nothing then about his eyes; but God gives exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. He did not say anything about his feet, but the Lord gave him a blessing for them also: "Thou hast delivered my feet from falling." Oh, for an all-over blessing, a blessing from head to foot,- from the eyes that stream with tears to the feet that are slipping away from under us,- a blessing that begins within by delivering the soul, and then works its way into the very countenance, and makes it resplendent with joy and thankfulness, and gets into the daily life, helping us to march boldly along the slippery way! Glory be to God, he hath given this deliverance to many of us!
